Anyone have some good LBGT books to read?

I've been trying to find some, but no luck....

Latest great one, that I finally read, Hero by Perry Moore.
I liked it because the story wasn't centered around a lot around his gaiety, but he was a complex character with more than just one layer to his personality.

I don't know many books about lesbians though.

I read Hero. It's awesome.

The Rainbow Series is great, as well.

I've read All American Boy, and that was an okay book, though did have some weird points.

A Secret Edge was also pretty good, though follows the basic formula of most gay books.

And Boy meets Boy was just cool .

There are a few books you may want to look at on Amazon, some guy has created a list of some good books which may be of interest to you.

Ohmygod. What Happened to Lani Garver is insanely sad. But it's sooooo good.
