I am interested in reading LGBT books or watching a movie, but I am interested in one specific genre. ANYONE KNOWS ANY BI BOOKS OR MOVIES? I couldn't find any. But it might be that I am a patata head, and I was searching at the wrong place.
Do check out The carpet weaver by Nemat Sadat. Afghanistan, 1977. Kanishka Nurzada, the son of a leading carpet seller, falls in love with his friend Maihan, with whom he shares his first kiss at the age of sixteen. Their romance must be kept secret in a nation where the death penalty is meted out to those deemed to be kuni, a derogatory term for gay men. And when war comes to Afghanistan, it brings even greater challenges-and danger-for the two lovers. From the cultural melting pot of Kabul to the horrors of an internment camp in Pakistan, Kanishka's arduous journey finally takes him to the USA in the desperate search for a place to call home-and the fervent hope of reuniting with his beloved Maihan. But destiny seems to have different plans in store for him. I copied this summary from Google books because I am a lazy person.
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee has a bi male protagonist with a male love interest, but he also hooks up with women. (Historical YA) Autoboyography by Cristina Lauren (I think...?) has a bi male protagonist with primarily a male love interest, but other things also happen. (Contemporary YA) Those are the first two that come to mind for me.
I read 'Take Nothing With You' by Patrick Gale in one day at the weekend - couldn't put it down. Gentle, wise coming-of-age novel about a boy growing up and dicovering his sexuality.
There's a bunch of bi movies, fam: -Inappropiate Behaviour -Dog Day Afternoon -Sunday Bloody Sunday -Y Tu mama Tambien - Cabaret Etc. There's more on imdb
I know of three books that feature a Transgender character: If I Was Your Girl, Meredith Russo Luna, Julie Anne Peters The Danish Girl, David Ebershoff A couple of books featuring Lesbian characters: Rage and Keeping You A Secret, both by Julie Anne Peters. Book series featuring Gay characters: The Mortal Instruments, The Dark Artifices, and The Eldest Curses, all by Casandra Clare. Some of these also have Bi characters, so I won’t be re-listing them. A book that’s not entirely within the LGBT scope, but the characters do undergo a medical change: Dr. Franklins Island, Gwyneth Jones(under the name Ann Halam)
