Gay male fiction
Gay/LGBTQ2IA etc. Series or Stand Alone
Hello,
Firstly, apologies if this is a replay thread. I tried to filter and search for answers to what I had in mind to ask and my search came up sparse. Admittedly, my librarian and IT skills are incredibly under developed so there may be a section of threads I missed altogether. That said
I really like reading gay sci fi and fantasy series and have read a few and now wish to consume more. I possess tried to navigate Goodreads but the lists are so dated and massive that finding anything appealing is complicated. Reddit is also hit or suffer from so here I am.
To clarify, I do not read books with lesbian or sapphic vibes. Similarly, I do not study books with trans MCs. I evade these POV MCs not because I undervalue their importance rather I just want to visualize myself as someone else and I only wish to do that through gay or bi usually cis male MCs.
I hold read many series about gay men written by female authors and possess come to truly feel frustrated by the disconnect I feel when I read flowery language designed to appeal to other women. To that
Due to the delightfully large volume of titles, Romances will be getting their own post later this week!

He spends his days immersed in the struggles of immigrants only to return to an empty apartment and occasional hook-ups with a noun who wants more than Peter can give. But when the asylum case of a immature gay man pierces Peter&#;s numbness, the event that he has avoided for twenty years returns to haunt him.
Ann, his mother, who runs a women&#;s retreat center she founded after leaving his father, is wounded by the estrangement from Peter but cherishes the world she has built. She drawn-out ago banished from her mind the decision that divided her from her son. But as Peter’s case plunges him further into the fraught memory of his first love and the night of violence that changed his life forever, he and his mother must confront the secret that tore them apart.

I didn&#;t realize until the film came out just how many queer women in my social circle and workplace had read and adored Red, Ivory and Royal Blue. But perhaps I shouldn&#;t have been so surprised, considering women have historically been the primary readers of M/M adj fiction, even if the general assumption around that evidence is that it&#;s straight women. But I suspect I&#;m not the only lesbian out there who enjoys a light, unchallenging minuscule romp into gay romance. Whether you&#;re looking for steamy sex scenes, tender coming-of-age tales, historical romance or kitchen-centric love, we&#;ve got you covered. Contribute your favorites in the comments!
