Listopia > LGBT YA Historical Fiction

Fantasy is okay, as long as it's set in a historical period in the "real world" (e.g. Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare, Timekeeper by Tara Sim)

Books that are period pieces now, but were written as contemporary will be removed from the list (e.g. Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden).
