Quest: Fun in All Identities

Historically, the media has focused predominantly on straight and cisgender stories, but that is just a small fragment of the whole gender spectrum. There is so much fun to be had when one ventures into stories that span more gender identities. On top of that, the riches hidden behind those pages are treasures that fill the vaults of the heart with invaluable emotional wisdom. Let's go meet some gleeful characters and rejoice in their unique stories.

Add books you've read where either the protagonist or the majority of the cast is LGBTQIA+.
