Overview

I realized I was reading lots of MLM books, but not many by MLM authors. So I made this challenge to change that. To qualify, a book must A- be written by a queer male author, and B- have a main character who is a queer man.

Note: Both gender and sexuality are complex and fluid, and whether or not an author or a character is a “queer man” is potentially difficult to say, especially if an author keeps their life private. All I ask is that participants use their best judgement, based on how authors/characters self-identify when possible.
