The Best Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy
How do you think about queer science fiction and fantasy?
There have been gay authors writing science fiction and fantasy almost since the genre started, but in recent years we’ve seen this massive flowering of queer representation in mainstream science fiction and fantasy.
We didn’t invent it in the last few years, but it has certainly been mainstreamed. For people like me, that’s amazing because science fiction and fantasy are my home genres.

Reading LGBTQ+ fantasy novels can bring a unique take on typical sci-fi themes while also providing advocacy for LGBTQ+ people who are frequently underrepresented in mainstream media. These books can also be used to absorb more about the LGBTQ+ community and their experiences.
Furthermore, LGBTQ+ sci-fi novels can be as engrossing and well-written as any other sci-fi story, delivering a delightful reading life for all readers. So I&#;ve compiled a short list of some of my favorite Homosexual sci-fi reads and so-to-be reads!
