LGBTQ+ Online Short Literature Recs

I spent June reading short stories, poetry and essays by and about lgbtq+ identities offered online for free, and I wanted to share for those interested. 

My sources include several masterlists by the incredible @coolcurrybooks​ (who you must follow if you aren’t already), Electric Literature and Puntos Suspensivos. I will link all specific posts, masterlists and further sources for extra reads but first, I’ll list my personal favorites among the many all of them recommended. 

The stories will be linked and have a short description, further details (such as genre, specific elements, types of relationships, etc.) and content warnings for each work in which they apply. 

Enjoy!

He lies to me, he lies to you

Whenever we ask, what’s the thing he’s going through

He’s strong to handle it or maybe he’s too weak

His tongue trembles whenever he speaks

A drink with his friends, excites him most

At the end of the day, he’s lonely and lost

He doesn’t know where’s he going with life

He has a strange love for his set of knives

People think he’s gone insane, but I know that he’s in pain.

But guess who’s he, a stranger? , NO, he’s you and me

English 1: My favorite course

During my childhood I wasn’t particularly fond of writing. Whether writing on my own (which I didn’t do that much) or for class (such as a movie or book review) I didn’t develop fully the ideas that I wanted to write. It wasn’t until I was almost 16 and writing a complaint to New Utrecht High School that I began to flesh out the things I was writing about. Then in early 1988 I kept a diary that I still have. I didn’t keep at it for long but I was beginning to express myself. Finally in the fall of 1988 I took English 1. I had fully matured as a writer and it was my favorite course at Brooklyn College.

English 1, section T3 was taught by Professor Lee Haring. He assigned us two texts: the first, A Short Course in Writing, 3rd edition, was written by Kenneth A. Bruffee (1)(2); the second, The Little, Brown Handbook, 3rd edition, was written by H. Ramsey Fowler. (3) Bruffee’s textbook was the more important of the two. Bruffee provided three powerful ideas that gave my section of English 1 its recipe of success. First, he focused on collaborative learning in which students either pair off with another student or become a part of a group of about six members. Second, besides collaborative learning Bruffee devised what he called the Short Course form: three paragraphs, 500 words, convenient both for students to write and teachers to grade. The Short Course form limited the essay form but broadened a variety of topics and modes of expression that was used with this form. (4) Finally, Bruffee provided students with descriptive outlines to help analyze and critique constructively both their own and their peer’s work to insure that the essay said what the essay did.

These three ideas, the collaborative learning pairs, the Short Course form and the descriptive outlines, were taught very effectively by Professor Haring. For our first essay he had us draw from our personal experiences. My first essay, the first draft of which was done on September 10 and completed four days later, was about my transition from dealing with a combative therapist to find joy in arriving at and becoming a member of a college campus community. (5) There was also joy in receiving a favorable impression from the professor on my first essay and it was in retrospect a good sign of things to come. I was maturing as a writer. I still have that first essay and all the essays I took for the course. These essays include an argument in Nestorian order (in which students present the main supporting argument last), a number of descriptive outlines of the essays of other students, one essay that needed revision and, this is perhaps my best work, a final typed essay on forced birth control for which I received an A.

The final paper, written under test conditions and mentioned in my first post, received a high score but not high enough to exempt me from English 2 though I did receive an A for the course. I put a great deal of effort and passion in writing these essays, going through several drafts on my Smith-Corona in a painstaking process with the help of The Little, Brown Handbook. This passion was reflected by Professor Haring to whom I give many thanks for conducting the class and grading our essays in a clear, concrete and fair manner. His comments on our essays were written clearly and to the point. The passion was carried over into the Short Course textbook; there the ideas mentioned before Bruffee presented in a somewhat repetitious but clear and readable manner. Both class and textbook were the forces that helped us put an effort into out essays. English 1T3 was in brief a recipe for success and was my favorite course.

But this recipe was not followed in the three succeeding English 2 sections I attempted over the next three semesters. The professors of those sections had different handbooks, different curriculums and different teaching styles. The passion appeared to be absent in the sections that I took. That lack of passion seemed to be a recipe for failure. Those sections and the difficulties that I encountered in them and which led me to drop out of Brooklyn College twice will be recalled later.

(1) (Glenview, Illinois: Scott, Foresman and Company, 1985)

(2) Kenneth A. Bruffee helped established writing centers across the country such as the Brooklyn College Writing Center, now the Learning Center at Brooklyn College.

(3) (Boston: Little, Brown, 1986)

(4) In Exercise 5, “Two Reasons,” the first paragraph is an “introductory paragraph ending with a proposition, and two paragraphs of defense...No conclusion” (Bruffee 55)

(5) I write in “From Sadness to Joy!”: “I hope, in the story that I told you, that I shared a part of myself to you, about the major changes in my life that have occur[r]ed in the last six months, or, to put it more accurately, the change that has occur[r]ed in the last two weeks, and that change can be told in two words: BROOKLYN COLLEGE.” Essay by the author, September 14, 1988.
