The Best Books of Each Genre: LGBTQ+ Literature

Continuing my series of the best books in each fictional genre, this list contains the best works of LGBTQ+ literature ever written. My focus is more on the more powerful and literary books rather than romance novels, and make no mistake, these books are not just for the gay community. They are great reads for everyone, but of course they provide comfort and belonging to people, especially those who once thought they would never find acceptance.
