Gay teen fiction is a genre that overlaps both LGBTQ+ literature and young adult fiction, built around books whose central characters are gay or bisexual teenage boys. It gives young readers stories in which their own experience of adolescence and sexuality is reflected directly in the protagonist, rather than treated as a secondary or background element.
