From romance to fantasy and even YA and books for teens, there have always been LGBTQ+ writers and queer books. Even when authors had to hide their narratives between poetry and pseudonyms, there has never been a world without queer literature; no matter how many bans or burns arise, there never will be. It is hard to rank the best gay books, partially because, especially in recent years, the genre has exploded. There are so many excellent queer books out there. While this list only scratches the surface, it is the perfect place to start for those looking to wade into the world of LGBTQ books.
For the purposes of this list, queer literature is defined by the inclusion of queer characters or queer stories in the work. While it isn't specifically about the writer, it also seeks to showcase LGBTQ+ authors.
This list contains both fiction and non-fiction works and even poetry. Ranking on a list like this isn't an easy task. Some of these books won't be for every reader, and multiple genres complicate the process. However, this list looks not only at quality but also history and, on some level, unfortunately, the tastes of the author.
Not all queer books can be doom and gloom. Some have to be pulpy, humorous serials. The first book in a ten-novel series, Tales of the City, was originally published as a serial in the Pacific Sun and San Francisco Chronicle. The 1978 novel follows a woman who moves from Ohio into a funky apartment building and the overlapping lives of its many zany tenants.
Armistead Maupin had the initial idea for Tales of the City while staying at Rock Hudson's house in Southern California. While the series became extremely popular, it was hard for him to get it published originally. However, he assured the Chronicle that he wouldn't let 'the homo characters didn't suddenly outnumber the hetero ones and thereby undermine the natural order of civilization." Here's where you can purchase Tales of the City.
This book's inclusion on this list is a bit of a catch-all. There are so many excellent queer poets and this anthology captures many of them in the same book. Hand in Hand with Love: An anthology of queer classic poetry was edited by Dr. Simon Avery, a specialist in queer history and culture at the University of Westminster.
The anthology features works from Sappho, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Christina Rossetti, Wilfred Owen, Edna St. Vincent Millay and more. It's a great primer for anyone interested in queer poetry. Here's where you can purchase Hand in Hand with Love: An anthology of queer classic poetry.
Can a vampire novel that predates Bram Stoker's Dracula also be a lesbian classic? Well, yes, if it is Carmilla. The 1872 gothic novel follows a teenage girl who begins a relationship with a mysterious, seemingly teenage girl named Carmilla.
The novel plays with attraction and repulsion, establishing many of the genre's tropes for years to come. While it also established the somewhat harmful trope of the 'Lesbian Vampire,' it is a much more nuanced and interesting portrayal than what the trope would later become. Here's where you can purchase Carmilla.
Many great YA books for LGBTQ+ youth have come out in recent years, like I Can't Even Think Straight by Dean Atta, Into the Light by Mark Oshiro, and They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. However, among the best (and a slightly earlier entry into the genre) is 2012's Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.
Set in late 1980s Texas, the book follows two Mexican-American teenagers as they navigate friendship, sexuality and familial relationships. It is an extremely well-paced and tender book about living without shame (a great message for young readers). Here's where you can purchase Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.
Zaina Arafat's debut novel, You Exist Too Much, follows a young queer Palestinian woman through vignettes from New York to Lebanon as she searches for love and home.
The novel is at times uneven, but it captures a beautiful story about self-love. Published in 2020, it is one of a couple of recent books about queer Palestinians, along with 2023's The Skin and Its Girl by Sarah Cypher and Blood Orange by Yaffa As. Here's where you can purchase You Exist Too Much.
A Single Man follows a LA-based British professor on a day after the death of his partner. Originally published in 1964, the book was shocking for its sensitive portrayal of a middle-aged gay man.
Christopher Isherwood may be best known for his 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin, which was adapted into the musical Cabaret. However, A Single Man is a beautiful and affecting work, by an important LGBT author. Here's where you can purchase A Single Man.
The debut novel by Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby, took the queer community by storm in 2021. The book follows a recently detransitioned trans woman named Ames, Ames' pregnant cis-lover and Ames' trans ex girlfriend as they navigate pregnancy, queer identity and their 30s living in Brooklyn.
It is a messy story about parenthood, ex-girlfriends, love and detransitioning in an almost soapy and digestible way. It was nominated for the 2021 Women's Prize for Fiction, making Peters the first openly trans woman nominated for the award. Here's where you can purchase Detransition, Baby.
There have been many great recent queer novels, but one of the best is easily Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. The 2019 epistolary novel takes the form of a letter from a son to his illiterate Vietnamese mother.
It is a deeply heartbreaking book that chronicles trauma and tragedy. The book almost reads like a poem, and, fittingly, Vuong is probably best known for his poetry. If On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a little too triggering, his poetry analogy Time Is a Mother may be a slightly safer choice. Here's where you can purchase On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous.
The true crime genre can be controversial; however, Elon Green's Last Call does it right. It is a deep dive into a series of killings of gay men in the 1990s in New York. However, it is about more than that. It looks at the gay scene of the 1990s and its relation to the closet and policing.
The strength of the work lies in its sensitive portrayal of those who were murdered as well as the documentation of a bygone community. True crime won't be for everyone, but for fans, Last Call is an impressive piece. Here's where you can purchase Last Call.
An Unkindness of Ghosts is a fabulous Sci-Fi book about a racially segregated mothership and a passenger who must solve a mystery connected to her mother's suicide. The 2017 novel takes a fairly unique approach to Sci-Fi, prominently using poetry and metaphor.
An Unkindness of Ghosts explores afro-futurism, structural racism and neurodivergence in a unique way. It is intense, but it stays with the reader. Here's where you can purchase An Unkindness of Ghosts.
Maurice is about a same sex relationship in 1900s England. The novel was initially written in 1913-1914 and rewritten several times; however, it wasn't published until 1971 after the death of its author, E.M. Forster. Forster worried that the happy ending would open him up to prosecution since homosexuality was still Illegal in the UK. He even left a note on his manuscript, 'Publishable, but worth it?'
When the novel was published in 1971, it wasn't critically praised. However, it became a classic for many gay readers. When it comes to the history of queer publishing Maurice is important, but it's more than just that. It is a sweet story about self-actualization. Here's where you can purchase Maurice.
Professor Susan Stryker has written extensively about the transgender community in the U.S., and her 2008 book Transgender History is among her best works. It is a concise history of the trans community in America.
This book is a quick read but packed with context. It is a perfect first step for those looking to learn more about the transgender community and its history. Here's where you can purchase Transgender History.
The Song of Achilles is a retelling of the Trojan War from the perspective of Patroclus and his romantic relationship with Achilles. While not a part of Homer's account of the same events in the Iliad, as far back as Aeschylus, there have been stories about a relationship between the two. The Song of Achilles uses this historical context to create a page turning romance.
The book blends history, mythology and storytelling in a beautifully dynamic way. Author Madeline Miller clearly loves classics and ancient history. The book was published in 2011 and was well received by critics, winning the Orange Prize for Fiction. However, it surprisingly re-emerged as a 'booktok'—a book on TikTok—in 2021, leading to further popularization. Here's where you can purchase The Song of Achilles.
Joshua Whitehead has written some fantastic books from the two-spirit perspective, including Johnny Appleseed and Making Love with the Land: Essays. However, Love After the End is a little different. It is an anthology of works from emerging 2SQ (Two-Spirit and queer Indigenous) writers.
From writers like Darcie Little Badger, Mari Kurisato, Kai Minosh Pyle, David Alexander Robertson and jaye simpson, the collection looks at resistance, survival and the future in ingenious ways. Here's where you can purchase Love After the End.
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a coming-of-age story about a lesbian who grows up in an evangelical community. Originally published in 1985, the novel examines family, faith and same-sex relationships.
The book is semi-autobiographical and connects to author Jeanette Winterson's experiences growing up in the Elim Pentecostal Church. It is a classic British novel full of allusions and literary references. It has also long been on the GCSE and A-Level reading lists for education in England and Wales, making it a favorite of advanced UK high school curricula. Here's where you can purchase Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.
1987's And the Band Played On is an amazing work that chronicles the discovery of HIV and the politics that surrounded the early days of the AIDS epidemic. The book looks at the gay community, the medical community, the media and the government and their actions or lack thereof during the 1980s.
Author Randy Shilts was a journalist at the San Francisco Chronicle who wrote extensively about HIV and was disturbed by how unseriously many members of the media took the epidemic. Shilts tested positive for HIV while writing And the Band Played On and passed away from AIDS related complications in 1994. Here's where you can purchase And the Band Played On.
The Color Purple is a 1982 epistolary novel by Alice Walker. The book follows a poor African American girl in 1900s Georgia who falls for a jook joint performer.
While the book is a high school reading list classic, it is a brutal story that includes abuse and violence. It has faced censorship for years and has appeared on banned book lists. However, it also won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983 and received near universal acclaim. It has been made into two movies and a Broadway musical. Here's where you can purchase The Color Purple.
The Stonewall Reader is a collection of diary entries, firsthand accounts, queer newspaper articles and other materials that capture the stories of those involved in the gay rights movement in New York between 1964 and 1974. The years surrounding the Stonewall Uprising in 1969 are often seen as the catalyst for queer activism in the U.S.
Much of the reader comes from materials collected by the New York Public Library, and it is edited by the NYPL coordinator of humanities and LGBTQ collections, Jason Baumann. It is a fascinating and moving historical text which is a must read for anyone interested in Queer history and activism. Here's where you can purchase The Stonewall Reader.
This 1952 lesbian classic is a must read for those interested in queer literature. Originally published under the pseudonym Claire Morgan, The Price of Salt follows a young woman who falls for a housewife/mother, leading to a jealous husband and a custody case.
The book was made into the movie Carol in 2015, and the book was also re-released under the name Carol in 1990. Its relatively happy ending and early publish date make it fairly unique (especially for its time). It is still a beautiful novel over seventy years later. Here's where you can purchase The Price of Salt.
Stone Butch Blues is a 1993 classic about a butch lesbian's life in New York City. The novel draws heavily from author Leslie Fienberg's life. It is a hard but essential read that examines the prejudice levied against those who push the bounds of traditional gender roles and the power of activism.
It is considered a bit of a cult classic in the LGBTQ community. The book won the Stonewall Book Award (at the time called the American Library Association Gay & Lesbian Book Award). Its title is referenced in another wonderful queer book, Lamya H's 2023 memoir, Hijab Butch Blues. Here is where to downlaod a PDF of Stone Butch Blues.
Audre Lorde's 1984 collection of essays, Sister Outsider, is essential for understanding intersectionality in the queer community. As a Black, lesbian writer and mother, Lorde draws on past experiences to explore Black feminism and oppression.
The book adds to ​​critical social theory by looking at the overlapping and interlocking nature of oppression for intersectional identities. The collection includes essays from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s. It is an impactful work that still feels incredibly timely. If you're looking for more intersectional essay collections, 1981's This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, edited by Cherríe L. Moraga and Ana Castillo, and Ain't I a Woman? by bell hooks are also great choices. Here's where you can purchase Sister Outsider.
Originally published in 1928, Virginia Woolf's Orlando follows a poet who lives for centuries, changing from a man to a woman and meeting the great minds of literature throughout the decades.
The book takes inspiration from the family history of Woolf's lover​, Vita Sackville-West. While it has some dated elements, it is a classic of feminist literature that has been studied by LGBTQ and especially trans scholars for its themes. It isn't the only LGBTQ classic by Woolf; Mrs. Dalloway is less noted than Orlando, but it is a must-read for those interested in 1920s lesbian literature. Here's where you can purchase Orlando.
When Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw was first published in 1994, it made waves. The book examines society's relationship to gender and the origins of gender. It is still revolutionary today, over thirty years later.
Borstein's own journey from a heterosexual male IBM salesperson to a nonbinary lesbian playwright colors the book as it examines what gender means in society. The book looks at the spectrum of gender in a beautiful and introspective way. In many ways, it highlights the power of questioning not only ourselves but also culture and the world. Here's where you can purchase Gender Outlaw.
There are a couple of wonderful graphic autobiographies from queer cartoonists, including Maia Kobabe's Gender Queer: A Memoir and Spinning by Tillie Walden. However, arguably the best is Alison Bechdel's Fun Home. The 2006 graphic novel chronicles Bechdel's childhood living in a funeral home, the death of her closeted father and her own journey as a lesbian.
While it is a graphic novel, it is not for children. This is not only because of its ruminations on suicide and brief sex scenes but also because it's pretty dense with many references to literature and queer art. However, it is a gorgeous piece about family and sexuality. Bechdel followed up the memoir with another, 2012's Are You My Mother? Fun Home was also adapted into a Broadway musical in 2013. Here's where you can purchase Fun Home.
Giovanni's Room is a 1958 novel about an American living in Europe and his frustrating relationship with Giovanni, an Italian bartender working at a Parisian Gay bar. The book isn't only an essential work in the history of queer literature but also a beautiful exploration of bisexuality, internalized homophobia and societal isolation.
The book was highly controversial, and Baldwin's publisher even said, "This new book will ruin your career,' and suggested that he burn it. However, it has become a beloved classic. It is even the namesake of America's longest-running queer bookstore, Philly AIDS Thrift at Giovanni's Room in Philadelphia, which has been called the 'center of gay Philly.' Here's where you can purchase Giovanni's Room.
Bottom Line
There are a lot of queer books, especially in recent years. This list just scratches the surface; so comment your LGBTQ+ favorites and happy reading!
Who Are Popular LGBTQ+ Authors?
In some ways, there is a difference between authors who are LGBTQ+ and authors who write queer stories. However, this mainly applies to early queer authors who weren't always able to be explicit in their narratives. At the same time, even under repressive systems, authors like Oscar Wilde and Walt Witman explored queer themes in their works.
Writers like James Baldwin, Virginia Woolf, Audre Lorde and Rita Mae Brown helped shape what LGBTQ+ writing would look like for a new generation. Currently, authors like Ocean Vuong, Torrey Peters and Carmen Maria Machado have become icons of new queer books.
What Are Great LGBTQ+ Romance Novels?
LGBTQ+ romance novels are having a moment. While some more classic romance works made this list, if you are looking for more typical modern romance books, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a great choice. The 2017 novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid follows a writer as she works on the biography of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, who is ready to come out of the closet.
Also published in 2017, Mackenzi Lee's The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is great for the Bridgerton crowd. Set in the 1700s, the book follows a reckless queer aristocrat, his sister and the love of his life on a Grand Tour of Europe.
What Are Great LGBTQ+ Graphic Novels?
One of the best LGBTQ+ graphic novels is easily Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, but if you are looking for more books, Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe is great. The memoir follows eir journey towards gender acceptance (Kobabe uses e/em/eir pronouns). It is a cathartic and powerful work about the true nature of gender.
If you are looking for a truly easy read, Alice Oseman's Heartstopper series is a good choice. The first book was published in 2018, but there are now five books in the series. It is a sweet story about two high schoolers who fall in love. The series was also turned into a live-action Netflix series.
What Are Great LGBTQ+ Books For Teens?
There are many great LGBTQ+ books for teens, especially recently. While a couple made this list, Ann Zhao's Dear Wendy (2024) should be included as further reading. Dear Wendy follows two aromantic and asexual students who run competing advice columns but become friends in real life.
Brent Hartinger's 2003 novel Geography Club is a slightly older but still delightful choice. The book follows a gay teen and his two friends who start a secret Gay-Straight Alliance under the pretense of being a geography club.

Adults of all ages are paying $1,000-plus to play like kids at summer camp again — and they say it's worth it

Where tug of war and 'tini time' unite. For Jaime Gullotti, the week away couldn't have come at a better time. 'I was going through an ugly divorce, and my parents were like, 'You need to go do something new,'' the 43-year-old office manager from New Hampshire tells Yahoo. Gullotti was intrigued by an ad she saw on social media for 'Camp' Camp, a summer camp for LGBTQ adults in Maine. She had relished her childhood summers at sleepaway camp and was curious about how the experience would translate into adulthood. So in 2014, she packed her trunk and headed north. Turns out, camp was just as good as she remembered. 'It was just really fun,' she says. 'It was all the things that you want on a vacation: lots of activities, really good food and really good people.' Fast forward to today: Gullotti has been to 'Camp' Camp every summer for the past decade and also volunteers as a group leader. She has a tight-knit community of camp friends and even met her partner of 10 years on the grounds. 'You go on a vacation and say, 'It was really nice to meet you,' but then you never keep in touch,' Gullotti says. 'At camp, I've become not just vacation friends but actual friends with these people.' Fulfilling a need Why would a grown adult willingly sleep in a cabin with strangers, eat food from a mess hall and participate in wacky team-building activities like Olympic games and lip-sync battles? For Mike Farley, who has been to Camp No Counselors events across the country for the past 14 summers, it's a break from reality with some of his favorite people. 'Looking forward to the experience is one thing, but looking forward to seeing those people in that setting makes it fun,' the 42-year-old operations director from Orlando tells Yahoo. Last year, he went on a cruise with 25 friends from camp, and in March, 30 of his buddies descended upon Orlando for a mega-birthday celebration. More and more adults are seeking out adventure, friendship and fun in the woods: Yelp's 2025 trend forecast notes a staggering 347% increase in searches for adult summer camp between 2023 and 2024. In an era in which more than half of adults under 44 feel lonely or isolated most or all of the time, camp can be a powerful antidote to the lack of connection so many are experiencing. At camp, age is just a number. In 2024, for example, 'Camp' Camp hosted Gen Z-ers, octogenarians and everyone in between. 'When you put aside what you do for work or what circles you would normally run in, things feel so much more open and easy,' says Makyla Harvey, 22, a digital marketing specialist from Maryland. She has attended Camp Social, a women-only retreat, for the past two years and is returning again this summer. 'I connected with women in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s.' At camp, attendees get to relive (or experience for the first time) that all-American, Parent Trap-style summer. Campers can sign up for quintessential camp activities such as boating, archery and arts and crafts, while on-site bars, gourmet meals, live music and nighttime skinny dips add grown-up excitement. Camp No Counselors runs Slip 'N Slide flip cup and morning ''tini time' — 8 a.m. espresso martinis to start the day strong. At Club Getaway in Connecticut, you can sign up for inflatable jousting and let loose at a toga party. 'At some point you have to grow up, but what's that look like?' asks Farley, who swears by arts and crafts as the ultimate hangover cure. 'Why do I have to? I can still do all the same stuff.' Finding your kind Some camps are out to make the experience life-changing in more ways than one. Campowerment, another women-only summer camp in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, offers an inner child workshop that helped Jennie White, a mental health and wellness counselor and advocate for children with special needs in New York City, heal from a childhood trauma. 'It gave that little girl breath,' says White, 43. 'It brought her out of that experience, and she was actually allowed to play and experience wonder in a way that I've never thought possible.' Upon her return, White left an abusive relationship, went to graduate school and learned how to drive — literally putting her in the driver's seat of her own life. She says being with other women made her feel safe during such a vulnerable experience. That's intentional, says Chelsea Leader Gold, Campowerment's CEO. 'It feels very protected,' she says. '[You are] in the sanctity of sisterhood. When you put women in an intentional space and with programming that allows them to explore, really cool stuff happens.' Gullotti agrees that being with like-minded people makes for an especially meaningful experience: At 'Camp' Camp, 'we all have queerness as a common denominator,' she says. But at the same time, part of the fun of camp is meeting people you'd never come across in daily life. 'You have different jobs, you have different circles of people, but when you're at camp, you might be holding a tug-of-war rope with this person, and all of a sudden, you have the same set of interests,' Farley says. Cozy vibes — for a cost Another draw of the experience? Screen-free time in nature. Instead of doomscrolling after dinner, for example, nights are spent hanging out in front of the campfire with s'mores or yukking it up at the talent show. At Camp No Counselors, photographers capture the experience and send pictures out after camp ends so campers can just enjoy being in the moment. 'I go and put my phone down for three days,' Farley says. 'You don't need it. If something happens at your job, what are you going to do? You're out in the woods.' Bear in mind a few days of roughing it can carry a steep price tag. A week at 'Camp' Camp is $1,975, while a weekend in the Poconos at Camp Social will set you back nearly $900. The (sold-out) Labor Day weekend session in New York at Camp No Counselors is $1,000, and four days at Campowerment will cost you nearly $2,000. A place to do you At camp, adults can strip away the persona they have in the real world to be true to themselves. 'Camp' campers, for example, are encouraged to try on new pronouns and dress however they're most comfortable. At Campowerment, campers are not allowed to share their occupation for the first 24 hours. 'Otherwise, it would become a networking event,' Leader Gold says. 'This is a place where we can be all the other parts of who we are.' That might include karaoke queen, amateur archer, capture the flag crusader or any other identity that doesn't often get air. But there's also the option to put all of that aside and just rest. Everyone's camp experience looks different. 'It's almost like freshman year of college,' Farley says. 'You have access to all of these things, but no one's watching you, so you don't have to do any of it.' Importantly, if you do want to do something, there's no pressure to do it well. Harvey says she appreciates that there's no 'competitive, mean girl energy' at Camp Social. For three blissful days, 'Kumbaya' really is a state of mind. 'It's like stepping into the Barbie movie,' she says. 'Literally a before and after' It's no surprise that after one memorable summer at camp, many people return. At Campowerment, for example, more than half of the attendees are repeat campers. Veterans like Farley and Gullotti take new campers under their wing, hoping they have the same transformative experience they did. 'It is literally a before and after for me,' Gullotti says. 'I would not have the community that I have now, the partner I have now or the life that I have now without camp.' Solve the daily Crossword

What is 'pocketing' & are LGBTQ+ daters more likely to be victims? Relationship experts weigh in

Telling your friends about the new person you're dating, introducing them to your family (found or biological), and going Instagram official are huge milestones in modern dating. But what if you start noticing that your new paramour isn't introducing you to anyone in their life, keeping you completely separate from their friend group, and refuses to post about you? That is the newest toxic dating trend: pocketing. Dating in 2025 is complicated. People are getting more and more fed up with dating app culture, situationships and hookups are the norm — which can be fun unless you're looking for something long-term — and toxic dating trends like ghosting, floodlighting, love bombing, and banksying have become a dating epidemic. Pocketing can be equally toxic as these other cruel trends, but it can also be done for legitimate reasons within the LGBTQ+ community, making things even more complicated than they were before. But what exactly is pocketing, why would someone do it, how are queer people impacted, and what should you do if it happens to you? We reached out to sex and dating experts to break it all down. So, what exactly is 'pocketing?' fizkes/Shutterstock So, you've been out dancing, watched a Real Housewives marathon together, are having epic sex, and have stayed up all night talking. Everything is going perfectly, except for one thing: They haven't introduced you to anyone in their life. This is 'pocketing.' Pocketing is a new dating term to describe when one partner avoids introducing the other to their friends, family, or co-workers. 'It can cause many difficult feelings and that you're being hidden. Add our queerness to that and the layers become more complicated,' Anne-Marie Zanzal, who teaches an online course called "Maybe I Am Not Straight" to help people find clarity and understanding in their coming out journey, tells PRIDE. Is pocketing common in LGBTQ+ relationships? While someone in a straight relationship might wall their partner off from the rest of their life, pocketing is more common in LGBTQ+ relationships. 'Maybe your partner isn't out to their family yet. Maybe they're afraid of rejection—or even real harm—if they reveal they're in a queer relationship. So instead of including you in their world, they keep things quiet, Zanzal explains, saying this can be painful even if they are only doing it because of "fear or safety.' Anthony Canapi, an LGBTQ+ dating expert and the founder and CEO of Best Man Matchmaking, says that some queer people 'pocket' a new partner because although it's 2025, the world hasn't changed that much. 'We sadly live in a world where people do view LGBTQ+ people and the community as inferior. Because of this, a person who has invited those close to them in to their sexual identity, orientation, or expression may face potential backlash,' he explains. Someone might also engage in this toxic dating trend if they are dealing with internalized homophobia, are dealing with their family's conservative cultural or religious viewpoints, or are concerned that being open could put them both at risk because of 'prejudice and discrimination,' which can 'turn physical and deadly, Canapi says. What does it say about how someone feels about you? Pocketing says way more about the person engaging in the toxic behavior than it does about you. Is it possible that you're kind of a jerk or a little embarrassing, and they don't want you to meet their friends? Sure. But then why are they dating you in the first place? It's more likely that although they may be telling you they want to be in a long-term committed relationship, they don't actually have any plans to make that type of commitment. In short, they're being selfish instead of owning up to what they want out of dating you. 'For the person doing the pocketing, it often just fills one specific need, whether that's sex, companionship, or simply a placeholder until they find someone they see as a better long-term match,' explains Tammy Shaklee, a relationship expert, certified matchmaker, and the founder of gay and lesbian matchmaking service H4M Matchmaking. But while that may be hard to hear, you're probably better off moving on if those are the reasons they refuse to include you in their life. And if you're queer, it's also important to remember that they may not want to introduce you to folks because of issues surrounding their sexuality, and you shouldn't internalize that. 'Those who are more private or do not acknowledge their sexuality publicly, pocketing might reflect fear of being outed, rejection, or even display and reveal internalized shame; more importantly, these deeply personal reflections are upon oneself, and not necessarily about you,' Canapi says. Is it wrong to do to someone you're dating? beast01/Shutterstock Stringing someone along without ever having the intention of fully integrating them into your life, is cruel. No one should have to feel like your dirty little secret or that they aren't 'good enough' or important enough to you for you to introduce them to people in your life. 'It's really not fair to string someone along if you have no intention of taking the relationship further,' Shaklee cautions. 'The only time pocketing might make sense is if both people are on the same page and have openly agreed that this setup works for them, whether it's just for now or something longer term.' Under most circumstances, pocketing is unkind and almost always hurtful, but it is a trap that can be easy to fall into, Zanzal admits. 'I remember being out with a woman I cared deeply about, and when we bumped into someone I knew, I was very uncomfortable introducing her,' she recalls. 'I realized that it was about my own internalized homophobia and — it was about me. I wasn't ready to be seen because I hadn't fully accepted myself yet. I practiced 'fake til you make it.' I continued to show up with her and proudly introduce her to the world, my own internal world had to catch up. Yes, it was uncomfortable, but so worth doing.' Pocketing vs keeping your private life private Some people lead very private lives and don't share anything about their personal life on social media and don't talk about their love life with coworkers, but it goes beyond privacy when you're getting serious with someone and they refuse to share their life with you or introduce you to people they are close with that are important to them. 'The difference between privacy and pocketing is the purposes and motives behind it,' Canapi explains. 'Is your partner more of a private or quiet individual who doesn't showcase your relationship publicly, but values you in other ways that are sincere and genuine or is their evasive behavior of keeping you a secret that is questionable and that can cause harm to your relationship?' Is it a red flag if someone is doing it to you? Roman Samborskyi/Shutterstock While privacy can be a legitimate boundary for some, pocketing is a red flag when it makes you feel unimportant, unacknowledged, and unloved. Being made to feel invisible because of pocketing in a relationship is unacceptable. But what should you do if it's happening to you? What should you do if this is happening in your relationship? If you are the one doing the pocketing, be honest with yourself and your partner about why you are doing it. If you are the one being pocketed ask for clarification about why it is happening, and know that you can leave the relationship if you don't get a real answer or are gaslit about it happening at all. 'If you have open communication in the relationship, it's worth digging a little deeper. Is it that they're not interested in building a transparent, fulfilling relationship? Or is there something unresolved that's holding them back? You can't fix someone else, but you can gently help them become more self-aware by kindly pointing out what you're noticing,' Shaklee says. 'Most of the time, our gut instinct wants to protect us, and ensure confirmation, but sometimes it can be anxiety playing with us. Having a genuine, sincere conversation about this behavior with your partner will acknowledge how you feel, if being pocketed is hurting your self-worth or making you feel undervalued, it's okay to bring it up and set boundaries,' Canapi recommends. If the reason you or your partner are pocketing has to do with still being in the closet, Zanzal recommends seeking out a LGBTQ+-affirming therapist to help you work through the fear and internalized shame. 'Pocketing can stem from fear or survival instincts—but love isn't meant to live in the shadows,' she says. 'We deserve to be loved and love out loud.'

Kelly Clarkson's new look is so, so gay — and of course lesbians are spiraling

Kelly Clarkson's got a new hairdo and a spiffy new outfit to match, and lesbians are already going absolutely feral for the pics. The look was debuted in an Instagram promo video for the upcoming season of The Voice, where Clarkson will be returning as a judge after last working on the show in season 23. There's something about a new format, bringing back old winners to coach — blah, blah, blah. Honestly, any self-respecting queer woman stopped paying attention the moment Clarkson turned around in that chair. Between that new delectably messy haircut, a button up, and an unfastened bow tie around her neck, she looks like she could be body doubling for Brandi Carlile in a new music video and it is hitting all the right vibes. Let's go ahead and be clear about one thing. Clarkson has outright stated on more than one occasion that she's straight. And it's not our place to argue with people about their sexualities! But she is not remotely shy about catering to the lesbian gaze and we absolutely love her for it every time. Because Clarkson knows what she's doing. She embraces it. She embraces us. The American Idol alum is more than happy sing sapphic song after saphic song on her show. And while it's one thing to pull out music from Chappell Roan — arguably the biggest rising star in pop last year — it takes a whole other level of confidence to bust out some freaking t.A.T.u. in the year 2025. And even if/when Clarkson isn't baiting the lesbians on purpose, she doesn't act anything other than flattered when we're all lining up to smile stupidly at her all the same. That in and of itself basically earns her an army of queers ready to kneel and pledge allegiance to her in exchange for a single wink. So when she drops a look like the one she's got on in The Voice promo, well, you can imagine how sapphics on the internet have been reacting. "Okayyy Kelly Clarkson. I feel like this look will be a hit with the lesbians haha" "she's gonna show up with a 26 year old butch any time now I can FEEL it" "Respect to her. Whether that's her gig or not she knew she had to restore the balance that was greatly disturbed by tradwife jojo siwa" "i have been saying for a long time that i feel a kelly clarkson wlw arc is in our future. we're getting closer…" "i'd let kelly clarkson kick me in the throat as many times as she wanted to send tweet" This article originally appeared on Pride: Kelly Clarkson's new look is so, so gay — and of course lesbians are spiraling RELATED 36 times Kelly Clarkson has covered songs by Sapphic musicians on her show Kelly Clarkson explains the wink driving lesbians wild and says she'd go for an 'older woman' 'I like my girls a little bit older': Kelly Clarkson cover leaves Sapphics swooning
