Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! This is another post that I know will be very hard for me to write I’m going to try and narrow it down to 10 of my favourite LGBTQ+ characters in YA literature! I’m going to try and not overlap to many with my favourite LGBTQ+ novels but it is inevitable.
1 Tiny Cooper from Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green. To me, he is a gay icon. He is absolutely fabulous and adored reading all of his scenes. I don’t know WHY I haven’t read his play yet Hold Me Closer by Tiny Cooper. It has something to do with me not owning it though. I need to fix that. 2 I have to mention without a doubt Magnus Bane from the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. He is yet another fabulous bisexual character and I love how he describes himself as a “freewheeling bisexual” You go Magnus! He loves glitter and interior design as much as I do! He is definitely up there with my favourites. 3 Aaron Soto from More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera. Aaron is after facing a really tough time just before the book opens and we see him dealing with the aftermath of what he has to face and follow him from the minute his world get turned upside down and he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. I loved following Aaron on that journey! 4 How could I forget about Damian Maslin in the House of Night series by P.C and Kristin Cast? You may or may not know that this series got me into reading. I loved it and still do today ad a new release is coming very soon and I cannot wait! Damian has a quote in which I absolutely love. “Actually, since I'm gay I think I should count for two guys instead of just one. I mean, in me you get the male point of view and you don't have to worry about me wanting to touch your boobies.” Damian Maslin in Marked. 5. I absolutely love Aristotle from Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. This is another book with a self-discovery aspect to it and I hope you all enjoyed it who read it for the first readathon we hosted! This book brought out lots of emotions in me. Both of these boys are honestly amazing in their own ways. 6. This may be cheating because I haven't finished the book yet but Aki Simon from Our Own Private Universe by Robin Talley. Aki is only 15 but has had no experience with girls so far to date but is show she likes girls as well as guys and she has a plan to stop sitting around thinking about it and to finally start doing something about it and I like that drive from her. 7.
