Looking for queer books

TLDR: Looking for raw emotional queer stories

Hey! So this is actually for a very specific purpose. I’m in speech and debate and I do an event called Program Oral Interpretation, basically finding a bunch of different literature and stitching them together to tell a cohesive message.

Next year I’m doing a piece on queer violence, and I’m looking for books to read and maybe add to my piece. I’m looking for

– something about somebody coming out and it not going well

– possibly something satirically political

– and any other suggestions people may have!

Really looking for raw stories and raw emotion over statistics, but I’ll take anything!
