What are some good gay works about upper class society? I'm thinking books like American Psycho, but with homosexuality being the focus.

Christopher and his Kind. Irsherwood succeeds in evoking the heady atmosphere of Weimar Germany and has the irresistible of a highly educated elite British sophisticate throughout. Also the shoutout to his future boyfriend, who by the end of the novel was just born, is kind of funny.

LGBT is the tranny board. Gays only have a general there, it's actually really sad. But literature is full of homosexual authors, poets, and works that explore these ideas explicitly, figuratively, or through sublimation. It is perfectly/lit/ to request texts that include homosexuality.

Sounds like the perfect reflection of the actual LGBT community.

Trannies are the hottest new fad and gays are old news so they are relegated to tertiary characters.

There's an entire containment board for this, so go there.

Gay isn't a subgenre of literature and all this thread is a fucking colony of faggots on the wrong board.

This is the problem with faggots not being capable of separating the art from the artist and combined with attributing stereotype personalities whilst assuming the home boards of anons. It is pathetic.

It's hailed as one of the top 100 books by /lit/ for a decade. Even before 4chan goes mainstream so you can't blame leddit.

Transvestites are homosexuals, except they're safer is they are usually castrated, chemically or physically. "Regular" homos are worse than tranny as they still have their dicks meaning they can and will molest young men and children. Homosexuals aren't based. They're scum and they have no place in society.
