This is not a top ten list. It’s something I decided to do in celebration of LGBT Pride month.
The title might sound odd. There are lots of books about gay men so why single out the ones that were written by gay men?
I did it because I believe that there is something important about being out and proud within and beyond the author arena. It’s about self-respect, standing up for the right to be who you are, and showing other people that it’s possible to live life openly and freely.
Gay authors don’t just write books about gay men, of course. But when we do write books about gay men, I also believe there is something special about that. It’s a passing down of shared life experiences. It’s a particular point-of-view or some would say sensibility.
Anyway, these are a few of my favorite books under that theme, and they are in no particular order. I acknowledge fully that I’m missing a boatload of great books
Well, bless you! 🙂
My pleasure, Nathan. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
