GREAT LGBTQ F/F BOOKS: Storm Season by Pene Henson

“In that moment nothing is worth thinking about beyond that sky, nothing but the huge universe and Claudie’s hand, steady and close beside Lien’s on the railing, Claudie’s warm body so near. Lien twines her pinkie around Claudie’s. They stand under the stars, still and silent.”

Halfway Home by Lilah Suzanne

Shelved by Lynn Charles

During the holidays, anything is possible—a second chance, a promised future, an unexpected romance, a rekindled love, or a healed heart.

For me and my friends growing up, being told things like ‘you have to wear this because that’s what boys wear” or “dresses are for not for your body type” was frustrating and a pretty bad time.




The bottom line for me is, if someone feels happier and more comfortable in a particular ‘type’ of uniform, then that’s something that should be encouraged, not punished. Students have enough to focus on at school, having to fight to be yourself shouldn’t be added to that.
