To celebrate, we’ve rounded up 10 Australian books that explore the many different aspects of queer identity and indicate the experimental, creative and analytical writing taking place in LGBT+ communities. In the current political climate, many people have questions about diverse gender identities and sexualities. The books on this list, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, young adult books and a children’s picture book, offer readers opportunities to be entertained, informed and moved. The engaging story could be used as an educational resource to introduce the topic of gender identity, either individually or in a classroom. A group of queer and gender diverse teens learn to rely on each other, against a backdrop of a zombie apocalypse.
