Bøger om Homofile

Joe er bøsse. Det har han selv fortalt. Men hans ven Benjamin vil hverken rigtigt tro eller acceptere det. Og han er i hvert fald ikke ligesom Joe …”Hate crime – en kærlighedshistorie” er et ungdomsdrama om identitet, kærlighed og forelskelse.Tomas Lagermand Lundme (f. 1973) er opvokset på Amager, først i Reberbanegade og sidenhen i en nedlagt legetøjsbutik ude ved Flyvergrillen. Han debuterede i 1998 med romanen ”Forhud” og har siden skrevet en lang række bøger for børn, unge og voksne, dramatik til teaterscenen og manuskripter til radioteaterstykker, dokudramaer, novellefilm og tv-serier.

Mette på fem år bor hos sin far, Morten, og hendes fars samlever, Erik. Indimellem kommer Mettes mor på besøg. Sammen fejrer de fødselsdag, spiser morgenmad i sengen og læser godnathistorier ligesom i alle mulige andre familier.”Mette bor hos Morten og Erik” er en højtlæsningsbog, der uhøjtideligt og hyggeligt beskriver hverdagslivet i en familie med to fædre og et barn. Bogen var den første børnebog i Danmark, der beskrev livet i en regnbuefamilie, og da den udkom første gang i 1981, var det med positive anmeldelser fra diverse danske aviser, der tog godt imod den banebrydende børnebog. Bogen blev oversat og udgivet på engelsk med titlen ”Jenny lives with Eric and Martin” i 1983, hvor den skabte stor debat og hvor den, efter en dramatisk retssag, blev forbudt ved lov at anvende som undervisning til engelske skolebørn.Bogen er illustreret med fotografier taget af Andreas Hansen og en fire siders tegneserie af Paul Arne Kring Sørensen.Forfatteren Susanne Bösche (f. 1953) har skrevet lige siden, hun fandt ud af, at bogstaver kan danne ord, og ord kan danne historier. Parallelt med forfatterskabet har hun arbejdet som dukkefører med dybe rødder i Jytte Abildstrøms Teater, hvor hun i sin tid blev oplært. Hendes forfatterskab handler om at se hinandens forskelligheder som en ressource og ikke lade sig skræmme af det ukendte. Hendes første bogudgivelse ’Nede i Anitas kælder’ udkom i 1977 og er forgængeren til ’Er vi venner eller hvad’. Begge bøger har unge og seksualitet og ikke mindst venskaber som centrale temaer. I 1981 udgav hun billedbogen ”Mette bor hos Morten og Erik”, en dagligdags historie om Mette, der bor hos sin far og hans mandlige samlever. Bogen blev godt modtaget i Danmark, men vakte stor debat, da den 2 år senere udkom i Storbritannien, hvor den forårsagede et forbud mod at oplyse børn i skoler og daginstitutioner om homoseksualitet.

When Justin's boyfriend commits a terrifying act of violence, the two flee on a doomed road trip, a journey that will damage Justin and change his and his family's lives forever. Weaving together these two timelines, Brother & Sister Enter the Forest unravels the thread of a young man's trauma and the love waiting for him on the other side.

Lambda-award winning author Ryan Field wrote this gay romance as part of his series of novels retelling beloved romcoms with gay characters. Inspired by the romcom classic Nora Ephron movie, When Harry Met Sally, about two friends who finally realize how much they love each other after many years, this novel is an homage to the power of romantic story telling and the power for true love. When Harry Beckham's best friend asks him to drive her new, casual boyfriend, Sal Sorentino, from California to New York, Harry never expected they'd wind up as lovers their first night on the road. Harry just assumes that Sal is straight, and Harry already has a boyfriend of his own back in San Francisco. But when Sal explains that he's bisexual and that he's extremely attracted to Harry, everything changes. Harry tries to resist the mutual attraction, but all it takes is one simple kiss and they both wind up having the best sex of their lives on a cross-country road trip. When they reach New York, they agree to go their separate ways and forget about each other. Harry becomes a well-known designer who does national talk shows, and Sal becomes a professional poker player who lives in a mansion and owns a pet pig named Dolly. And by the time they meet up again seven years later, their lives have changed completely. But that doesn't stop the passionate physical connection between them from surfacing again. Though all the odds seem to be against them, their physical relationship evolves into mutual love and respect. And this unyielding love they feel for each other turns out to be stronger than anything they could have imagined. "When Harry Met Sal was definitely one of my early reads in the M/M genre and it was one of the books that for the longest time I would reread every time I couldn't find a sweet, funny romance that made me smile and laugh this was my go to book."--Goodreads Reader
