We get rec request threads fairly regularly and it's usually the same books that get mentioned so I was thinking it would be a worthwhile endeavour to make a comprehensive chart of /lit/-approved homo works.

I should mention that being unless you're happy for it to be made on MS Paint, someone other than me is gonna have to put it together,

So some things to think about to get the ball rolling:

>Just male homo masterrace? Lez lit too? Or should we open it up to anything LGBT-related?

>Novels, or plays and poetry too? Should we include non-fiction?

>how homo is homo enough? Should works with incidental homo be considered or should it be central to the work's themes?

>what info should be on the chart? Just cover, title, author? Should each entry have a short sentence describing plot/theme/what form the homo takes?

And of course you can start throwing out suggestions if you want.

It's a question for another thread thread really but my theory is that a lot of fags nowadays cling to anything vaguely intellectual in reaction to the trashy and vacuous abomination that is mainstream gay culture.

yo seriously. I noticed so many homos on this board. it's so awkward. I feel so uncomfortable around the mentally ill. there is a boy who grew his hair out and where's a bit of make up that works at star bucks. he's not passable at all. no tits. no ass. man game but the name tag says rachel. all the customers get so awkward with this dude it's hilarious. I can't get any reading done when he works. just watching there reactions to being served. most men can't even look him in the eyes. hilarious.

Being gay/LGBT is the epitome of everything lame, PC and ZOG approved. You know what's truly edgy? Daring to be White, Straight and Proud on this day and age. Generation Z is probably the most pozzed generation in history. The numales and Lgbtbbqwtf thingamajigs at school are so obviously mentally ill, the sort of people that wouldn't survive in the wild just a generation ago. I blame anime and xenoestrogens. Join the resistance.

did any of you gays watch the movie Moonlight? I saw it opening night with my friend and my gf (sry) and it was fucking great. it makes me want to write a thread about how you can tell a great story that's interesting even if it's just one about oppression which most people appear to be repulsed by on here.

The Mirror of Love is pretty nice; it's basically the entire history of gayness in one long poem.

>While life endures we'll love,
>and afterwards, if what they say is true,
>I'll be refused a Heaven

Hold on, I'm almost there. All I've gotta do is gain 200 pounds, regain my virginity, stop showering for a month, and move back into my parents basement to scream at people on anime websites. That will surely end decades of social change and bring back the good old days of genocide and oppression.

No. See, another person conflating Marxism with globalism (and as an extension capitalism). Does not compute. Corporations still run the show, not the state. So tell me again how Marxists have won?
