do you know any books that are like heterophobic? they dont have to HATE straight people but like just joke about it?
No, and I sincerely hope you are specifically asking for books that crack jokes about Straight People™ rather than books that are actually malicious to people who happen to be straight, but in the off chance the later is correct here is why that is very problematic. We as gay people will crack jokes about the strange things we see straight people do and I believe that results from us as a community having been used as a butt of a joke for years. Overall, I don’t have an issue with that and I have made those jokes, but when ceases to be a joke and becomes actual judgment because of the sexuality someone is it becomes very hypocritical and not okay. We advocate for gay books because straight people have no shortage of books representing them, that does not mean that we get angry at books that have straight romances and that is because it is NEVER okay to judge someone based on their identity. No matter gay or straight. If we truly want equality we, as a community, have to be willing to let go of any resentment.
I would also argue that there are queer people who are straight. If you are a transgender girl and you are attracted to men, you are straight. To insinuate that this person is gay because they were born with male genitalia and are attracted to people who are male is misgendering a person. So that’s another reason that this mind set that disparages straight people can me very problematic.
However, I do believe you did just want books that align with your sense of humor and in that case I would recommend Simon vs. the Homosapien Agenda. I chose to respond in this fashion is because I have received things like this with clear bad intentions before and I just wanted to make an open statement as to why I refuse to feed that brand of negativity.
