Books for and about teens with gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender parents. Mostly young adult (YA) novels, some non-fiction. For high school and junior high age range.
Just to clarify for everyone, this list is only for teen books, so books published for teenagers. Not adult fiction or non-fiction. The character in the book either has to have an LGBT parent or an LGBT parent needs to be involved in the book's plot in some way.

I'm getting kind of close to the 100 book limit, something I never thought would happen, lol. In case I run out of room, I might remove some books. If that happens, I'll make a note in the comment section and maybe someone else with more votes than me can add them back in.


But meanwhile, if you have any titles that need to be added, and you can't add them, post them here.

Kaje did vote for some (thanks Kaje) so I will go ahead and take some of my votes off and add new ones. I'll see if I can get all of the ones I know of to fit. If not then I will list the titles here.



Are you a librarian, Cheryl? I don't have a way to take books off the list myself.
All I see is the little "edit" link which lets me change the title and description of the list but doesn't let me take off other people's votes. I can remove my own votes but not other people's.


Let's Get This Straight: The Ultimate Handbook for Youth with LGBTQ Parents
How It Feels to Have a Gay or Lesbian Parent: A Book by Kids for Kids of All Ages
They look like they belong on some list somewhere - but not this one, so they're removed.


But if people did want to add more books (I'm near the top of my limit), you could always vote for...
Playground by 50 Cent (lesbian mom)
Angry Management by Chris Crutcher (two moms and two dads)

Coronation Necklace
A Very Civil Wedding
Neither appeared to be YA or involve LGBT parents in any way.


By the way, does The Best Man have LGBT parents? I know there's a gay uncle and teacher.


You are correct. I forgot that in The Best Man it's an uncle not a parent. So nice that the volume of YA and Middle grade LGBT+ inclusive books has gotten large enough that I get them confused.
