Best gay novel 2022
Gay/LGBTQ2IA etc. Series or Stand Alone
Hello,
Firstly, apologies if this is a echo thread. I tried to filter and search for answers to what I had in intellect to ask and my search came up sparse. Admittedly, my librarian and IT skills are incredibly under developed so there may be a section of threads I missed altogether. That said
I really like reading queer sci fi and fantasy series and have read a few and now wish to consume more. I possess tried to navigate Goodreads but the lists are so dated and huge that finding anything appealing is tough. Reddit is also hit or suffer from so here I am.
To clarify, I do not read books with lesbian or sapphic vibes. Similarly, I do not browse books with transgender MCs. I elude these POV MCs not because I undervalue their importance rather I just want to fantasize myself as someone else and I only wish to do that through gay or bi usually cis male MCs.
I possess read many series about gay men written by female authors and own come to truly feel frustrated by the disconnect I feel when I read flowery language designed to appeal to other women. To that
Every year it gets harder and harder to produce this list and, honestly, that is a challenge I am so grateful to have. There were a huge amount of amazing queer books published this year. I am thrilled to see lgbtq+ lit blossoming within my lifetime. I can&#;t consider that as a youthful adult I was actually able to read most of and keep road of all the sapphic books coming out. That would be impossible now! And, truly, that&#;s a good thing because in there is something for every queer reader.
Almost every category in this leading of list was very competitive. There are a lot of very fine books that I had to leave off! Instead of limiting each category to five books, this year I&#;ve included six for most of them because it was too painful to narrow it down any further. Okay, now what you&#;ve all been waiting for: the best queer books of , all 92 of them!

The day after the election, November 6, having spent the previous evening cooking and consuming a robust meal of grass-fed beef and roasted green beans and quinoa as a form of self-care, I sat at the kitchen table eating every solo piece of our leftover Halloween treats. KitKats whose wrappers were red as the electoral map. Bags of popcorn labeled, preposterously, Lesser Evil. Coconut-chocolate bars called Unreal.
Around lunchtime, immersive into this who-cares sugar binge, I opened my email and saw a new Substack post from Patrick Nathan, an marvelous writer and an especially astute critic of all the ways—both explicitly and implicitly—our country has embraced authoritarianism. America, he writes in his newsletter, not as a country but as a mythology and set of unifying ideals, is dead. It’s clearer than ever, he says, that “there is no ‘we’ on a national level, and there won’t be anytime soon.”
And yet, writes Nathan, “if America is dead, our communities survive.” If our national politics has become small more than farcical theater, our towns and urban area councils and neighborhood
