Question
Does it bother you when non-queer authors write queer stories?

It doesn't bother me most of the time. It depends on who the audience is and if it's treated respectfully. BUT on the other hand, I do get frustrated when major publishers and movie studios decide to pick up books written by straight white women in their forties instead of equally good books written by queer authors. Like you said, it's complex.

Exactly. You see, some books, like Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, are written by straight allies. Because it's good representation, and because the author is a valid ally, it's great! It doesn't bother me. But other books (I can't think of examples right now) aren't good rep, and even if the author is a valid ally, it doesn't work that way. If the book was good rep but the author wasn't a valid ally, I'd be a bit conflicted over the book, but again, I read (and loved) Harry Potter, which is quite possibly the queerest series out there.

I just finished this book and it was really, really good. All the points for queer stories written by queer authors.

the queer rom-com we’ve needed!!
This film was so cute. Equal parts cheesy, romantic, funny, and queer. The hardest part about LGBTQ+ movies is where they fall on a stereotypical line or whether or not they’re coming out stories or coming of age stories - all of which have importance some places. But what we’ve desperately needed for so long is a queer story that is just about love and the characters just happen to be queer.

LGBTQ+ love isn’t any different than heterosexual love. Everyone wants that connection, that passion, that person to come running home to. This movie is that, and so much more. Jake Borelli is amazing and definitely someone to keep an eye out for. I can’t wait to see what he does next.

Book Favorite

"Poet Diane Di Prima wrote this book for the money in 1968 but is is still an unabashed portait of Beat and queer life in the 1950's to the late 60's. It is an erotic travelogue of NY in the 60's and shines a special light on the New York Underground when being queer, feminist and an artist was still a way to be oppositional to the dominant culture."
