GLBT Literature

I chose to do my final project on children’s literature including GLBT issues. This was a topic area that fascinated me due to its minimal representation in the literature world and the continual search for acceptance that it seeks. During my initial search for credible books, I struggled to find libraries that included these books. Not only was there a lack of resources, the responses of those who offered to help me quickly become unresponsive after hearing my area of research.

After a difficult start I was able to find several books that reinforced my examination of this diverse literature group. I was able to find numerous books that were both relatable to children and which displayed positive examples of homosexual relationships. The three I chose to focus my critical look into were Molly’s Family, And Tango Makes Three, and Daddy’s Roommate.
