This is probably already a thread in here but I can't find it.
But anyways I was just wondering if anyone knows any good books about teen lesbians or anything about the gay community? The lines I wear around my wrist are there to prove that I exist Love is love no matter who your in love with. |

"Keeping You a Secret" - Julie Ann Peters
Ummm... "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides is actually REALLY good but it's not like 100% LGBT focused, but the main character is (I believe) transgender. Becca. :]  "Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact." - William James - |

Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger is about a FTM transgendered teen. I read it for my Book Club, it was a quick read, but it was entertaining.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the [mome raths] outgrabe. |

Am I Blue is a good one. It's a collection of short stories, all about gay and lesbian teens. Another good one is It Gets Better, which is a collection of essay by LGBT teens and adults(and their allies.) Scars is one of my favourite. Annie on my mind is also a good one and I think Tricks by Ellen Hopkins has a transgendered or gay teen in it. I know Impulse by her does, although they are more about other issues faced by teenagers, drugs, depression, suicide, and cutting, than about being gay.
She whispered to her own reflection "I will be strong."

Annie on my Mind. Lesbian love story. Have to read it.
When all your friends have come and gone, And the sun no longer shines, And the happiness for which you long is washed away like an ocean's tide, When all the hard times outweigh the good, And all your words are misunderstood, When the day seems lost from the start You must follow your heart, You must follow your heart. |
