I love books with queer protagonists! It feels so affirming to see the hero of the story be one of my own people. Often, especially in YA, they are experiencing the same struggles that I went through, or am still going through. That’s when it becomes really nice to have an adult who has “been there, done that” and is ready to help. Queer parents just understand the queer experience that much more, so getting to see them pop in books and be thriving is a wonderful experience. It can remind young readers that there is hope, and good things to come. It can also be a great thing for queer parents to share with their children. This list has a bunch of wonderful YA books with queer parents and grandparents. Each one is unique and lovely, and I can’t wait for you read them and share them with those you love. These are just a few of the amazing YA books out there that feature queer parents. Some have been around a while, and some came out pretty recently, but no matter what you’re looking for, there’s bound to be the perfect book on this list for you.
