Talk:Masterlist: Gay/@comment-26045981-20150126170106

First, this list, does a book just have to include a gay character for it to make the list, because I know at least a few of these books don't feature an explicitly gay protagonist. In Brent Hartinger's Grand & Humble the main character's sexuality isn't discussed, one version of him has a girlfriend and his best friend is gay, but that's it and the best friend has a relatively minor part in the book. In Benjamin Alire Saenz's Last Night I Sang to the Monster, the main character Zach is not explicitly gay, it is implied (heavily) he may be but it is not explored because he has bigger issues to resolve. Brandon William's Teenage Rewrite does feature an m/m relationship, but the main character himself identifies as bisexual. Similarly Andrew Smith's Grasshopper Jungle also features a bisexual progtaonist in love with both his best friend (who is gay) and his girlfriend. If this is the case, could there be a list that features books with proganonists that are gay and don't just include gay side characters as is the case with some that I've listed and I assume is the case for books like The Mortal Instruments series. Also, Andrew Smith's Stick and Winger feature significant side characters that are gay if you wish to add them.

Second, I've added several books to the list. They are:

Jay Bell's Kamikaze Boys and Something Like series;

Sophie Bonaste's The Sacrifices We Make;

Hallie Burton's For a Price

Eli Easton's Superhero

Drew Ferguson's The Screwed Up Life of Charlie the Second

John Goode's Tales From Foster High series, Lord's of Arcadia Series, and Fadeaway series.

Jeff Jacobson's The Boy Who Couldn't Fly Straight

Devon McCormack's When Ryan Came Back

M.B. Mulhall's Heavyweight

Michael Murphy's Swan Song for an Ugly Duckling

Chris O'Guinn's Exiled to Iowa. Send Help. And Courture.

D.J. Parker's What's Not Broken

Johanna Parkhurst's Every Inferno

Dale Peck's Sprout

Jim Provenzano's PINS

Nora Sakavic's All for the Game series ( features an m/m relationship, not entirely clear on the protagonist's sexuality though.  all his previous romantic interests were girls so maybe bi? says he doesn't swing either way, demi-ace? the relationship doesn't culminate until the third book.)

K.M. Soehnlein's The World of Normal Boys

Jamie Sullivan's Imaginary

Melanie Tushmore's The Price of Falling

Martin Wilson's What They Always Tell Us

and Bart Yate's Leave Myself Behind.
