I saw your other post about non-white LGBT and I have an unsolicited book recommendation because it’s one of my favorites and hits both of those sweet spots. It’s called Never Wake by Gabrielle Goldsby. I picked it up randomly and was completely blown away and finished it in one night. Highly recommend checking it out…

When LGBT is sought, it’s never about non-white LGBT folks. Take a look at Netflix for another media example.

YES. I WOULD STAR THIS X10 IF COULD.

May I ask you if you fall under the LGBT umbrella? Because let me tell you that as a lesbian, I have found probably a handful of books in which the main character is gay (maybe 2 in which the character actually identified as a lesbian and wasn’t "in the process of figuring things out”) and that the entire plot line…

True. I didn’t think of that.

Women authors don’t even have a leg up in “women’s fiction,” though - when a man writes a traditional “women’s fiction” book, it gets categorized as general fiction. Nicholas Sparks, for example.

It is good if they encourage YA novels with diverse characters where their “otherness” wasn’t the entire point. That’s the “pandering” part.

It’s not the error, it’s the rich-lady assholicism around the error. Fractions are different when you drive an Audi.
