Queer YA is, by her calculation, about 0.2% of YA lit. That is pathetic. And the fact that even that is dominated by cis gay boys is just as bad. If anything, we should have more queer YA in percentage than the percentage of teens that identify as queer, because a) those books are so incredibly important to those who do, b) just because they don't yet identify that way doesn't mean they aren't questioning and wouldn't appreciate books to help them in that and c) not just queer kids can read queer lit.
