✨ jami ✨’s comments from the The LGBT+ Reading Challenge || 2018 group.

OwnVoices means the author identifies with the same orientation as the character. Reading own voices us good because it supports minorities telling their own stories and narratives.

And no, doesn't have to be YA, that just happens to be what I know best. This is just a preliminary list I plan to add to later

PS. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll add any m/m ones to the list, but I'll never making lists dedicated to other lgbt soon, this us just for male gay main characters
