Listopia > A hint of queer

There are a lot of out and proud trans and queer books and stories out there- thanks God! However, this list is just a "dash different".
List criteria ( so far):
1)The approach to LGBTQ issues is more subtle, sometimes blatantly crypto-queer
2) The sexual orientation and/or gender identity of characters is just another layer of the story, not its central focus
3) The characters or/and themes are, or are portrayed in a "queer" maner. "queer" as in outside of straight/cis societal norms, not necessarily "sexual orientation"
