My fav L books:
Author: Skyy
Books: Choices, Consequences, Crossroads (This is the series in order)
Description: Follow a group of African-American and Latina lesbians on their journey from college to adulthood through this sereis. Features Femmes/Studs and Bi women in relationships and dealing with life. Very fun reads.
Author: Fiona Zedde
Books: Bliss, A Taste of Sin, Hungry For It
Description: A Taste of Sin and Hungry For It are a series. Bliss is an idividual book. Fiona also writes primarily about African-American lesbians. However, her characters are also from Jamaica (she is Jamaican). Bliss is my favorite because it's set in Jamaica and she makes the people, landscape, food, and culture come alive. She is one of my all time favorite authors, lesbian or otherwise.0 -

Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Hero are definitely on my list to read.
Some other great books are:
Middlesex, Jeffrey Euginides - This is his best book, by far. I read The Virgin Suicides and just finished The Marriage Plot, but Middlesex is an amazing novel about FTM transexuality.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde - One of my favorite books of all time. A lot of the homosexuality was edited out, but it's pretty crystal clear if you know the history of the book and its author.
Rules of Attraction, Bret Easton Ellis - Great book and a great movie about relationships.
A Spot of Bother, Mark Haddon - I thought the gay relationship in this book was pretty realistic. It's a side story, but overall I liked the book.
Movies:
A Single Man (haven't read the book yet)
Wonder Boys (haven't read the book yet)
Brokeback Mountain (LOVE this story... the short story is excellent too, and the movie does a really good job of portraying the relationship and expanding upon it)
If These Walls Could Talk 2 - hellooooooooo Chloe Sevigny and Michelle Williams. Need I say more?
Boys Don't Cry - Chloe Sevigny again
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Milk0 -
Can't believe it took til page 3 for someone to mention Hedwig. I love Hedwig. I also really liked Middlesex -- so I guess I like gender explorations.0

NOT REAL KEAN (OR IS IT KEEN) ON THE HEDWIG MOVIE. SAW JCM LIVE AND HE WAS BEYOND AMAZING... THE MOVIE.. NOT SO MUCH...0 -
Latter Days - my best and I have watched it back-to-back at least 6 times in a weekend. It's about an out and proud boy who meets a closeted Mormon boy, it makes me bawl.
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!! I'm not a crier but it moved me to tears!!!0 -

I do not believe I have ever heard anyone refer to him as Daniel before. I don't know why, obviously that is his full name.0
