YA Wednesday: YA Books that Promote LGBTQ, Genderqueer and Transgender YA, Taking Homophobia out of Fantasy, Islamophobia in YA, Making Choices in LGBTQ YA

By the time many people reach adulthood it can be too late to change their viewpoints, but teens are still deciding how they view the world and they can be influenced.

In response to what happened in Orlando Mostly YA Lit shares 10 YA Books that Promote LGBTQ, Diversity & Compassion. This YA Interrobang list of the week features Genderqueer and Transgender YA Leads. Fantasy is still one of the most popular YA genres. In this piece Malinda Lo provides advice about how to Take the Homophobia Out of Fantasy. In Making Choices in LGBTQ YA, author Dahlia Adler, discusses some of the decisions you need to make if you write LGBTQ YA. Kaye M. writes eloquently about Islamophobia in YA—the things that are unsaid and the things we need to know. “Off we should be shuffled to the internment camps, while our pain is profited off and spun into grand stories about rajas and shahs and sultans that make sure to show our worst sides more than what we truly are: achievers, great thinkers, intellects, dreamers.”

Editor Nicole Brinkley wants you to stop threatening authors. You don't have the right to make people feel unsafe just because you like their stuff.

"You are entitled to enjoy what authors create. You are entitled to critique it. You are not entitled to control it. You are not entitled to tell them how to create it. You are not allowed to threaten authors.”

Guys, this is important. Read the article, and for goodness sakes: Do. Not. Threaten. Authors.
