Confession, I don't read gay romances. Shocker, I know. Not boy boy romance and (gulp) not girl girl either. I can't tell you why, other than I grew up reading hetero books and it stuck. But I have been loving gay romances this summer, in the form of film/video. Last month I talked about how much I loved (and still love) Tyler Childers's
In Your Love video featuring two hot coal miners. Well, they are joined this month by the cuties from
Heartstopper and
Red White and Royal Blue. And, ironically before becoming a series and movie, they were books.
Heartstopper's Charlie and Nick fumble through coming out and dealing with being in a gay relationship as high school students, while
Red White and Blue's Alex and Prince Henry fumble through coming out and dealing with being in a gay relationshp as high profile young men. All of their journies are delicious and I have to say, I'm here for all this gay-boy love. I might just have to crack a gay romance this summer and continue this love fest.
