Jeffrey's computer is in his bedroom, garrisoned inside a thicket of codes and passwords. From his peers at school he dreaded violence, and with good reason: according to a 1996 study of the Seattle public schools, one in six gay teenagers is beaten so badly during adolescence that he requires medical attention. When we were first getting to know each other, he made it clear that he could allow no overlap between his online gay life and the life he led in the ''real world.'' He explained, ''In our town, everybody knows everybody, and everybody knows everybody's business.'' He feared that if word of his sexual orientation were to reach his parents, they might refuse to support him or pay for college. Jeffrey and I met when he responded to an online message I posted, seeking gay teenagers willing to discuss their online lives. You're always spending time on the computer.' But the Internet is my refuge.'' My mom complains: 'I can see you becoming more detached from us. ''The Internet is the thing that has kept me sane,'' he told me. It was around this time that Jeffrey first typed the words ''gay'' and ''teen'' into a search engine on the computer he'd gotten several months before and was staggered to find himself aswirl in a teeming online gay world, replete with resource centers, articles, advice columns, personals, chat rooms, message boards, porn sites and - most crucially - thousands of closeted and anxious kids like himself. But being 15, he was too young to drive and afraid to enlist his parents' help in what would surely seem a bizarre and suspicious errand. He called a crisis line for gay teenagers, where a counselor suggested he attend a gay support group in a city an hour and a half away. ''My mother's always saying, 'It'll be so wonderful when you meet that beautiful Christian girl and have lots of grandchildren,' and every time she said that, I was like, That's it: my life is going to be hell.'' ''I'm a Christian - I'm like, how could God possibly do this to me?'' he said. But as the truth gradually settled over him, he told me last summer during a phone conversation punctuated by nervous visits to his bedroom door to make sure no family member was listening in, he became suicidal. (He asked that I withhold not only his last name but also any other aspects of his life that might reveal his identity.) He prayed that his errant feelings were a phase. Jeffrey knew of no homosexuals in his high school or in his small town in the heart of the South.

But Jeffrey is a devout Southern Baptist, attending church several times each week, where, he says, the pastor seems to make a point of condemning homosexuality.

We've got something for fans of thrillers and crime, romance novels, humor, standby classics, new releases and of course, literary fiction and memoir. And just like the rest of the literary canon, LGBTQ+ books come in all genres. All of us deserve to see our lived experiences reflected in the stories we love, and that's especially important for young people or those who can't express the fullness of their identity in their everyday lives. These books by gay authors and LGBTQ+ writers, as well as fantastic reads with characters who identify as part of the rainbow of identities the acronym encompasses, show us that our literary worlds can (and should!) be as beautifully diverse as the one we live in. But this increased visibility during Pride month shouldn't be a one-month thing - it's an opportunity to expand the diversity of our media consumption all year long.
