There's good news and bad news with this list. The bad news, its small. The good news, its all quality. I find many of these titles gush worthy. If I started to talk about how much I loved one, I had have to say that about several others.
If you know of any other titles, please leave them in the comment box. I got three titles thanks to Ari's sidebar under the challenge that dare not speak its name

It might be a small list, but it's actually longer than I was expecting! Thanks for pulling this together.
I had to grin when I was reminded of Dramarama--that's such a fun one!
I'd rather have quality than quantity anyway on a group of books that is apt to be contested for inclusion! Thanks for compiling this!
Don't forget Big Fat Hoockie Prom Queen
Charlotte - I loved Dramarama.
Jill - I think it this way better as well.
Thanks Edi I did forget and I need to add My Most Excellent Year by Kluger
Thank you for putting the list together, Doret. I'm always looking for LGBT book recommendations.
Great list. I need to read more on this list. Frick and I just saw Ash in the bookstore today.
Also, several of Jacqueline Woodson's books have at least one LBGT character in it like: The Notebooks of Melanin Sun, The House You Pass on the Way, and If You Come Softly.
Is it Jacqueline Woodson who wrote The Company (can't seem to find it by googling)? That sounds interesting. I just finished Down to The Bone, but I have lots more to go from this list - wuhuh.
Nathalie - Your post is the reason why did this.
Evelyn - with Sanchez and Woodson, it was simply a matter of which book to list. Hopefully when people click book listed by either authors they will find the others.
Jodie - "The Company" is a short story in The No Such Thing As the Real World Collection.
Its a great collection. Chris Lynch, Beth Kephart and K.L Going have stories in it, and there are a few other authors.
