26 Books Every LGBT Person Absolutely Has To Read

Oh, and non-LGBT people – you should probably read these too.

1. More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera 

“It really shines a light on the effect depression has on LGBT+ youth, and I think it’s also really important that it addresses being gay in a Latino community, where being gay is unheard of. It’s a really important book and I recommend it to everyone.”

2. Maurice by E.M. Forster 

“It’s a classic about a man in Edwardian England who falls mutually in love with a peer at Cambridge and their subsequent years together. It deals heavily with class difference and societal expectations for a man in the upper middle class during this era but it ends happily, so that’s a plus.”

3. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

“It’s such an amazing and well-written book that not only explores queerness but also being a POC (specifically being Mexican) and figuring out who you are and learning to accept and love yourself. It’s such a great book and I love it so much.”

4. I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

“It’s a beautiful book about love (in all its forms), loss, and starting anew. The book is amazing and I always find something new in it each time I re-read it. It’s a must read for all LGBT+ rights advocates.”

5. Tell Me Again How A Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan

“It was great because it showed a POC who didn’t know how to come out to her Muslim parents.”

6. Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley

“It’s about the hardships endured during the 1950s in Virginia, especially with integration and accepting your sexuality at that time. The two main characters Sarah and Linda are complete opposites, both on different sides of the battle for civil rights, but soon realise they are falling for each other.”

7. Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown

“This was a great lesbian coming-of-age novel that highlighted all the issues people in the LGBT community faced back then [in the ’60s]. It’s important for me to not ignore the advances that people fought for, for me to be comfortable coming out today.”

8. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

“It’s about an intersex person and their family’s history as Greek-American immigrants.”

9. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechtel

“It’s a graphic memoir that parallels many experiences young queer folk have when coming out and claiming their own identity. It’s a MUST read.”

10. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

“It’s the type of book that’ll leave you bawling your eyes out in the middle of the night after you throw your book at the wall.”
