List of LGBTQ writers
This list of LGBT writers includes writers who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender or otherwise non-heterosexual. Many have written works with LGBT themes and elements or about LGBT issues. Works of these authors are part of LGBT literature.
As this list includes writers from antiquity until the present, it is clearly understood that the term "LGBT" may not ideally describe the identity of all authors, particularly for those who wrote before the nineteenth century. In some cases, it is more useful to consider such authors as persons who expressed attractions for persons of the same sex (for example, Sappho or Plato), and avoid the anachronistic use of contemporary labels. Inclusion in this list follows general scholarly and academic norms, specified in references, that attempt to establish a genealogy or history of LGBT literature written by LGBT people. There are many additional non-LGBT authors who have written works on LGBT topics. All new additions to this list should include a reference.
