Re: recs: books with queer characters

[saku]

just a question posed out of curiosity - when you say a story "about them being queer," what, in the story, would make this the case for you? merely mentioning their sexuality or a love interest they have? or something else?

Not OP, but what I understood OP to mean (and the way I think of it myself) is when the character's sexuality itself becomes a plot point. Not just when they have (for instance) a same-sex relationship, but when the fact that their relationship is a same-sex one is treated as a source of dramatic tension. When the struggle for acceptance of their sexuality (from themselves or others) is an issue that receives considerable narrative focus. Contrast with stories in which a main character has a same-sex boyfriend or girlfriend, and whatever tension or drama or conflict their relationship goes through, the fact that they're both the same gender is never the source of that conflict - that fact is treated as a non-issue by the narrative and the characters in the story.

Re: recs: books with queer characters

[saku]

thanks for the reply. i was mostly curious bc i'm a writer and i'm queer so naturally a lot of my characters are minorities as well but i don't want any of my works to be perceived as all about the characters' sexualities since that's not the point. by your standards i'm all good though.

OP here, and other anon summed it up quite nicely.
