The month of June is dedicated to raising awareness and respect for the LGBTQIAPN+ cause, reinforcing the importance of combating prejudice against the community, in addition to guaranteeing its rights.
To celebrate Pride Month, influencer Maykel Moreira listed 5 incredible book options with LGBTQIAPN+ protagonists, which promote representation and have incredible narratives for those who want to immerse themselves in surprising stories.
“I have already suffered prejudice due to my sexual orientation and that is regrettable. In fact, I can’t understand how they can still get hung up on such personal details about someone’s life. We are much more than that and, like each character in the books we brought here, we all have a story”, he reflects.
Check out the selection and guarantee your favorites:
1. Love, Simon, by Becky Albertalli: https://amzn.to/3NnC1ID
“A very interesting story, especially for people who are still discovering their feelings, desires, orientation. I think it’s important, right now, to have the story of someone who is going through the same experiences, even if it’s through a book. It’s worth it!”, points out the influencer.
2. Heartstopper, by Alice Oseman: https://amzn.to/3qUc106
“Presented in several volumes, this story still follows the lead of discoveries, or at least, it begins that way. It takes place in a school, where we usually are when we start to understand everything that happens inside us and, in addition, the character is a victim of bullying. A delicate subject treated with great respect and, therefore, cannot be off this list”.
3. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins Reid: https://amzn.to/3qXQbc8
“Very well written, this book tells the story of one of Hollywood’s most famous actresses, who went through several relationships throughout her life, when, in fact, she lived hiding her feelings for someone special. Set in the 70’s, at a time when prejudice was even greater, that seemed like an impossible love… But if it was or not, just read to find out! I guarantee it will be a good choice.”
4. Felix Forever, by Kacen Callender: https://amzn.to/3Nl2aYL
“I start by spoiling that the main character is black, queer and transgender, who has never been in love, but who wants to understand that feeling. That information alone made me read this book, and I assure you that everyone should do the same. The story is incredible and addresses a theme that is very present in our days, in our society: the attack that people go through some kind of gender transition. A very interesting read!”
5. Just a Girl, by Meredith Russo: https://amzn.to/3XmYv1d
“Story of a trans character, written by a trans author. This is incredible, because it puts all the talent of artists who are often marginalized under the spotlight. I can say that the author managed to convey, in a very truthful way, everything that the character was feeling. Do you know when we start a reading and stay there for hours? This one is one of those!”
