Yeah, and they need to be a normal thing to write about as anything else and the representation needs to be better in stores/libraries and not shuffle everything into that one queer fiction shelf.
I also think when stuff are forced into this it could affect writing so people are forced to write 'queer fantasy fiction' rather than doing, like a story that they want with two older ladies in a lesbian realism story or sorts cause what's "in" at the moment.. dunno just have a feeling because people would probably think it's like the 'wrong' kind of stuff or they won't get popular.

/rant from someone who worked in a library and there is a narrow representation of what's popular and what's in rather than sorting them into everything else and give other lgbtq+ books the attention they deserves... at least in the kid/youth department, adult department was defo better man
not everyone likes lizard superpower fanfiction, lol.

My high school library had many boys on gay couples some of which we didn't know we're gonna be gay.

I am SO glad I went overboard on buying rodeo-style springy ride-ons now; I’m getting a proxy build set up and the ornate look of the rodeo ride-ons definitely fit the feel I’m going for.

I haven't finished Carry on or read Wayward son.Ohh yeah, Wayward Son. I think it was that one she wanted to have like one of every LE of aha. Ah well all good I have my obsessions too
Writing in the genre comes with its own challenges. Even though it is growing in popularity it is still considered niche and you need to tick the right boxes to be taken seriously. There is also the challenge that your work needs to be representing the demographic properly. I have been working on a sci-fi military series for seven years and I'm banking on people being willing to read a long war story with an arrogant out and proud thirtysomething warlord as the protagonist.
The project I have been working on today is in a completely different vein. It's a mother-daughter comedy. The daughter is engaged to another woman, which is the initial source of friction between the two of them. I could see it only taking me a month or so to write and it would easily have more chance of commercial success than the sci-fi series I have dedicated so many years to.
LGBT YA fiction is certainly easier to come by now than it was when Sheila and I were growing up. The first book fitting that description I read was a coming of age story called Edinburgh by Alexander Chee. I bought it secondhand on the Amazon marketplace when I was eighteen. Most LGBT work I read then came from independent publishers specialising in the genre. It was hard to just walk into a book shop or a library and just find it sat on a shelf.
I read Carry On in 2017. According to GoodReads I rated it one star.
