if you'd like to share, what is your favorite piece of queer literature of all time? no matter what genre, fiction or non fiction, whatever, just your subjective personal all time favorite. or a top three if you can't pick one? i love this blog so much, and you do such a wonderful job of giving a platform to such diverse queer perspectives. i've come to trust your taste and would love to hear what you personally really love. ♥️

Thank you so much for saying that! It means a lot to me to hear that. I was also able to immediately figure out my list as soon as I saw this question today, so I am excited to share! In no particular order:

The Bone People

Keri Hulme

This book really moved me in it's depictions of restorative justice, queer chosen family, asexual identity, and spirals are now a part of my own spiritual practice because of this book.

Beyond the Pale

Elana Dykewomon

The best queer historical fiction that I have ever read. It has an earthy and intense understanding of queer history that most books can't comprehend.

Dear Senthuran

Akwaeke Emezi

This book understood something about me that I still have yet to comprehend. Cannot sing its' praises enough.

Also I know no one asked, but as a bonus, my favourite non-queer book that I have ever read:

Right Story, Wrong Story

Tyson Yunkaporta

This book challenged my understandings of truth and storytelling. I would recommend it to anyone who prioritizes stories and storytelling in their own lives.

“[They]Extinguish the human with work… why? Stealing the life itself from the human - I ask again, Why?! Our owner - I lost my life at Nefedov’s factory - our owner gifted one songstress a golden hygiene set, even a gold champer pot! In this chamber pot is my force, my life itself. This is for what it was needed - a person killed me with work to satiate his lover with my blood - he bought a golden chamber potty with my blood!”

Hey does anyone remember when a transgender adult man with cerebral palsy got top surgery of his own accord and then posted about it in celebration, and then transphobes:

Lied and said he was non-verbal

Lied and said he was incapable of communication

Lied and said he had not gotten the surgery of his own accord

Lied and said his "guardians decided [he] was trans"

Got MGT to call a procedure done on a consenting adult "criminal" just because he had cerebral palsy

Mass reported his video and his account, which he ran, until facebook terminated his account for "child exploitation" despite it being his account, him being an adult, and him not being exploited

Ableism and transphobia are inseperable. Just like ableism was used to prop up bigotry throughout history, now it is being used to deny transgender people bodily autonomy the same way it is used to deny disabled people bodily autonomy. It's not a coincidence that so much of the rights transphobic rhetoric is focused on labelling us as "mentally ill". They don't think any disabled people, let alone mentally ill people should have independence or liberation.

A disabled college student was bullied for posting about his transition. Meta removed his account

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.
