Last week as part of the Hop Against Homophobia, I posted a list of my favorite Coming Out stories that we have reviewed here on the blog.  I made the connection because I think homophobia, and the fear of people’s reaction and rejection, often play a big role in people’s decision to come out.  So I thought it might be fun to put together a list of my favorites and ask readers to submit theirs as well.

So here is our official Joyfully Jay Favorite Coming Out Stories!  If we have reviewed the books, they are linked from the list. You can also click here to see all of our reviews of books that include a coming out theme.

P.S. This list has been updated periodically from the time of the original posting.
