The 20 Best Queer Romances of All Time

What are the characteristics of a truly superb queer love story? 

Most linear romance novels are given the stamp of approval when their two main characters — regardless of circumstances — end the book with a happily ever after. Judging gay romances by this criteria is a minuscule more complicated, mostly because so many of the early narratives to even begin to handle on queer love could often only mention them peripherally to avoid censorship and public decency laws. Even when queer romances were explicit, many were steeped in trauma, malaise, and hand wringing, matching the real world repercussions of being gay in less accepting times. Nowadays, finding a queer romance can be as easy as spotting two cartoons of the same sex on the front of a book’s cover. But will that technique really bring you the leading results? 

Queer love stories are more than just romantic plot points They’re about a vibe — which makes them both hard to quantify and infinitely exciting when you discover another great one. Pride month isn’t just the time

The world of gay love affair novels is, if not quite as vast as the world of m/f romance, still quite expansive. Are you looking for a royal-commoner romance? A fake marriage? Something gloomy and gritty, or something that&#;s the literary matched of a basket of puppies? Whatever it is that floats your adoration boat, I guarantee there&#;s an m/m romance out there that will satisfy. In making this list, I&#;ve highlighted as many #ownvoices authors as achievable. There&#;s a misconception that the only people who write m/m romance are straight women, and while it&#;s true that some of the biggest names in gay romance are straight women, there are also dozens of gay men writing fantastic lgbtq+ romance. But because of the biases and shortcomings of publishing (and a slew of other complicated factors), it&#;s straight women who often get the most recognition in the genre. This is not to say that unbent women can&#;t, or shouldn&#;t, write gay romance novels. You&#;ll find several (including some of my absolute favorites!) on this list. You&#;ll also find many wonderful books by gay men

Hey friend! If you&#;ve found yourself here, it&#;s because you&#;re looking for gay fantasy love affair novels! I&#;m a HUGE book nerd (and lover of romance novels), so I&#;ve put together this guide based on my control adventures in reading.

I had been looking for queer romance novels for YEARS, and idea that I had to just place up with side stories featuring same-sex attracted characters. As a queer person, advocacy is so vital, and for years I struggled to find ANY LGBT characters in fantasy romance novels.

representation is so important, and for years I struggled to detect ANY LGBT characters in fantasy relationship novels.

And then, I found gay relationship novels on Amazon, thanks to Kindle Unlimited. The indie publishing industry has done WONDERS for representation, and there are a TON of gay fantasy romance novels just waiting to be read!
