Best Gay Romance With A Character(s) Who Has A Disability
Note: I was unsure if I should use "disability" or a more current phrase like "handicapable" so I contacted a group that deals with this and they told me "disability" was fine. I mean no offense so if anybody would like this changed then please contact me and let me know...I'll adjust the title.
This is a list for mm/gay romance books that have characters with some kind of disability. These could include but are not limited to - vision impairment/blindness, hearing loss/deafness, limited mobility, prosthetic limb...etc.
This list is not about fetishism...it's about celebration and appreciation.

just gotta ask:
are there really that many books under the heading 'gay romance with a character with a disability'???
or a more current phrase like "handicapable"???
Would you really see that as a current phrase?? As a wheelchair user I'm glad that you didn't use that phrase becuase I'd not be to impressed!!
Jenn{WeEzEr LuVa!!!!} wrote: "just gotta ask:are there really that many books under the heading 'gay romance with a character with a disability'???"
omg. those were my exact thoughts!
i think it is great that the issue is being addressed, disability and mental illness has been handled really well in the books i have come across so far. My partner works in the disability area and we have an autistic child... I have read 1/2 of this list and have put the rest in my to read and to buy shelves!
Writing a book about someone with a disability was quite hard, but I wanted to make sure the reader felt the strength that Adam possessed and didn't feel sorry for him. By some of my reviews I think I achieved that. What do you think. My novel is Blind Passion
Perpetua wrote: "or a more current phrase like "handicapable"???Would you really see that as a current phrase?? As a wheelchair user I'm glad that you didn't use that phrase becuase I'd not be to impressed!!"
Well, good that they're trying, I guess!
Forget "handicappable" or "differently abled", they just sound stupid!
The most current term these days is "person with a disability"
flag as offensive (?)
