14 LGBT Retellings of Classics

"If the reception of Love, Simon tells us anything about queer narratives, it may be that the community is ready for old tricks done by a new dog. LGBT rom coms are just as exciting on the page as they are on the screen. Books like Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel, and the upcoming graphic novel Check, Please! make use of romcom tropes which are somehow new and surprising when the characters aren't straight. It feels good to get excited about storylines which could otherwise be stale. It's the excitement of getting to experience a well-loved trope, in a way which feels personalised and inviting. Representation does matter."
