    I really like this one book by Brent Hartinger called Geography Club, which recently I learned is being made into a film and will be release this year. really curious to see how that's going to be like.

    If you are a fan of Portlandia and John Waters-esque films, I thought "Rid of Me" (Netflix streaming) was pretty good. The beginning is jarring, but it gets better.

    And I have to mention for books Michelle Tea's Valencia or The Chelsea Whistle, which maybe I'm biased just being a San Franciscan and knowing some of the characters.

    aoh my god, thank you for bringing up Valencia! It was one of the first LGBT+ lit I ever read and I've been trying to remember the author's name for ages! ;3;

    Geography Club is about a group of high school misfits (most of them gay or bisexual) who start a club. They call it the geography club on the assumption that no one would be interested in joining if they really thought it was about geography.

    Has anyone ever read Will Self's Dorian? It's a modern (1980's) adaption of Dorian Grey where the characters are as gay as the subtext made them out to be. Another I read in middle school when I first started questioning was Empress of the World by Sara Ryan, which apparently became a series since I last read it??? Seven years demands a reread, love me some cheesy YA fiction.

    Books (so far): Stone Butch Blues - Leslie Feinburg, Valencia - Michelle Tea, anything by Poppy Z Brite, Naked Lunch - William S Burroughs, the Wet Moon series by Ross Campbell, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues - Tom Robbins and Lynne Flewelling's Nightrunner series (even though they've started to go a tad downhill, the first three are brilliant).

    And I don't watch a lot of films but recently I saw Otto; or Up With Dead People, which was pretty cool.
