The Best Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy

How do you think about queer science fiction and fantasy?

There have been gay authors writing science fiction and fantasy almost since the genre started, but in recent years we’ve seen this massive flowering of queer representation in mainstream science fiction and fantasy.

We didn’t invent it in the last few years, but it has certainly been mainstreamed. For people like me, that’s amazing because science fiction and fantasy are my home genres. This is what I grew up writing, so to see myself and my friends represented is just incredible. I feel really blessed to be alive and reading right now.

The first homosexual science fiction novel that you’ve chosen to recommend is Emily Tesh’s Some Desperate Glory. Can you please introduce us to this work?

Ironically, this may be the one where queerness is most central to it, and yet, of all of these books, it’s the furthest away from romance. It’s a good place to start.

Some Desperate Glory is a science fiction book that has been compared to Ender’s Game. It is about what happens after

Welcome! Out of the Past will be a regular column discussing the history of LGBTQ+ science fiction, fantasy and horror literature from the earliest years of the genre to the more recent present (many thanks to Gender non-conforming Sci-Fi for hosting me and to Scott for suggesting it).

While portrayals of lesbian, gay, fluid or transgender (LGBT) characters didn&#;t get relatively common in science fiction, fantasy or horror until after the initial successes of the Gay Liberation Movement in the s, that didn&#;t denote that there was &#;no there there, &#; to get a phrase from Gertrude Stein. Of course, most of those early LGBT characters were depicted in coded terms, their identity only hinted at. Homosexuality was illegal nearly everywhere in the world and could carry severe legal and social consequences if it was discovered. Most lgbtq+ authors flew under the radar or paid the consequences. On the page, queer characters portrayed their same sex interest with a significant glance, a passing comment or a bit too much interest in another character, an interest that often turned villainous
