About Gay Fiction
Gay and lesbian literature are the predecessors of LGBTQ+ fiction and serve to highlight and explore the gay and lesbian experience. Queer identities have always been present in our society, but they haven’t always been widely or openly depicted in popular fiction or general fiction. The works of queer authors of the past were either muffled or more often lost because of society’s dark history of alienation, arrest, and even death for acts of gay expression and love. It is only in recent times that that homophobia and hate has begun to be replaced by acceptance, understanding, and a beautiful diversity of openly queer creative fiction and other art forms. Gay fiction is as diverse as the range of LGBTQ+ experiences. It has spread across a range of subgenres, showing is the variety and depth of queer stories and voices. Check out some of the top gay fiction ebooks, including Gail Scott’s Heroine, Silas House’s Southernmost, David Leavitt’s While England Sleeps, and Andrew Sean Greer’s The Story of a Marriage. Discover the incredible, award-winning writers who create must-read books that you don’t want to miss. Start discovering (or rediscovering) the gay fiction canon today.
