Because I thought about it, I thought of David Levithan and his books and I thought of Alex Sanchez and HIS books, and I thought about Julia Anne Peters and HER books.
And after I was done thinking I realised I was doing what I hated.
Boy meets Boy isn't a gay story. It's a story about love.
Keeping You A Secret is not a lesbian love story, it's just a love story.
Rainbow Boys Trilogy is not a gay trilogy it's a story about growing up and getting along and being in love and being scared and being stupid and being brave and being a friend.
I'm just thinking about them as being about gayness because they are gay, even if you take away everything they are love stories and that's it.
Love Is The Higher law-- about 9/11.
I Am J-- Being yourself-- a common theme.
Wide Awake-- finding courage and finding yourself.
All these books, and I've been looking at them W R O N G.
I mean, ten years ago Boy Meets Boy and Keeping You A Secret and Rainbow Boys was a H U G E D E A L,
but now... not so much.
Maybe it's from living in a household where gay didn't exist, Don't get me wrong, I still want a book about a character living in a fantasy world or utopia as a.. clone, maybe.
