I’m so thankful that queer teens today have stories like this that show them they are seen, loved, and strong enough to change the world.

Queer as Books

I’m José Orlando, a Puerto Rican gay reader and reviewer who found healing and love for reading through queer books. Growing up without representation and discovering these stories in my 30s was life-changing. I began sharing my journey on TikTok, connecting with the amazing BookTok community. Now, my mission is to celebrate diverse, queer stories and champion authors—especially indie—so queer readers find themselves in these stories and allies can grow from them.
