Rainbow Flag Book Tag Part 2 - Duration: 7:29.
My hair is a disaster, so I'm wearing my Hufflepuff hat because truly it is the gayest of the houses.
Hey everybody!
Welcome back to Tanner's Books and Beyond and the second half of my Rainbow Flag Book Tag!
If you haven't watched the first part of it you might as well go watch that because otherwise
this isn't gonna make a lot of sense!
When we finished last time we had just done yellow, which mens now we're moving on to
green, and the question for green is a queer character you can relate to.
Now I think the character I can relate to the best out of all my queer books is Simon
vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
Now there are some superficial things that connect me and Simon like we're both pretty
dorky and we can both get anxious about how others see us, but I think the main thing
is that this talks about stuff that occurs after and beyond the coming out narrative.
Like, I've read a lot of really good queer books but a lot of them but a lot of them
are just about the coming out and that's the climax of the story and they don't talk about
anything that happens after that.
Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda does talk about that, and Simon himself highlights some
of the stuff that happens, like the fact that you're never actually done coming out.
Whenever you meet someone new you have to come out to them and explain to them, and
there's always that little bit of anxiety about how they're gonna react about it.
He also highlights the fact that queer kids in high school, we really don't know how to
do relationships because either your options are gonna be severely limited or you're not
gonna have any at all.
Basically we never get the chance to practice flirting with people and we never get the
chance to be in relationships quite often, and so we never have any of that experience
that a lot of straight people have later in life.
So we're just kinda...floating in limbo unless we get really really lucky in high school.
The fifth question is blue and that's a queer book that deals with some serious issues.
Now there are quite a few queer books (some of which I've read myself) where the issue
itself is the queerness of the characters and how people react and the abuse and discrimination they face from it.
But I've never read a book that deals with it so heavily as If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizen.
This book takes place in Iran, and in Iran homosexuality is illegal.
However being a trans person and transitioning is not because of...some religious technicality
that means the government is A-OK with it and in fact will fund people getting surgeries.
That causes a serious issues where a lot of gay people, one of them will undergo a transition
from male to female or female to male - whether they're trans or not - in order to be with
the people they love.
But obviously that kinda screws everything up because if you're trans you're not gonna
have any issues, but if you're gay and then you're transitioning but you're cis then you're
gonna be facing the same dysphoria that trans people have before they transition.
Not to mention the fact that even if the government is supporting it there's still people who
don't like it and people are still gonna be discriminated against if they've undergone the surgery.
Anyway, all of that is the background premise of the plot of this book, which mainly focuses
on these two young girls who've been in a relationship since they were kids, and then
one of them gets engaged to a man, and so the other girl is terrified she's gonna lose
her girlfriend, so she starts to seriously consider undergoing the surgery to become
a man and then she would be able to legally be with her girlfriend.
But is that worth the cost?
That's one of the major issues that's brought up and debated in this book.
So yeah, it's a serious topic that we don't get a lot of exposure to because it's just
not something we'd have to deal with in North America.
There's also Run by Kody Keplinger.
With this one the serious issues don't come from the queerness; one of the main characters,
Bo, is bisexual, but the main issue isn't that but the fact that she's stuck in an impoverished
house with a severely abusive family; and then the other factor is that her best friend
Agnes is mostly blind, and she isn't heavily discriminated against but she does have to
deal with people doubting her and thinking that she needs to be helped and coddled for the rest of her life.
So while the overall tone is pretty light, it does bring up these serious things that
people have to deal with, and it's nice that it has queerness in it, but the scope of that
is beyond just the queerness.
Then rounding off this one we've got We Are The Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson, which
is serious drama angst central when it comes to these kinds of books.
It deals with things like a grandparent having Alzheimer's and Dementia, or how to deal with
someone close to you killing themselves, or a character being stuck in a pretty abusive
relationship when you get right down to it, and yes there are also alien abductions and
the world is ending, but that's kind of small potatoes compared to the major issues the
main character Henry is going through.
And you'd think that a book so jam-packed with angst is gonna kind of falter when it
tries to deal with everything, but it actually manages to handle it all pretty well and I
kind of enjoyed the way it was able to get through everything and give everything pretty
decent closure by then end.
And the final question is purple, or indigo if you're nasty! *laughs* And that one is
to find a book where the queer characters in it are not the main characters.
I've probably got quite a few books on my shelf that have queer side characters, and
I'm proud to say I'm pretty sure none of them were just shoved in there for tokenism, but
the fact of the matter is that their queerness is such a non-issue.
On the one hand yay! it's a non-issue, but on the other hand it's dealt with so little
in the narratives of those books that...why should I even bring them up at all?
Like, if you're looking for cool representation you don't want to have to be hunting for it
in the offhand mention on page 386 of 609.
So instead I tried to find a book where the queer side characters still managed to have
a significant impact on it, and what I found turned out to be Welcome to Night Vale the
novel by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor.
Now if you haven't heard of it yet, Welcome to Night Vale started off as a podcast, it's
kind of a surreal comedy-horror.
One of the main things that a lot of people lauded it for and gave it a lot of credit
for is that the main characters in it, Cecil and Carlos, are actually a gay couple.
Over the five year history of the podcast their relationship has had it's ups and downs,
they've gone on dates, and eventually they've been able to move in together and get married.
Now where those elements factor into this book and the question at hand is the fact
that this book does not have the same main characters as the podcast.
Cecil and Carlos do appear and they do drop major exposition in their appearances throughout
here, but they're not the focus of the book.
But the fact of the matter is that nobody bats an eye at this.
It's a really nice element of the podcast, the fact that the queerness or potential queerness
of any resident of the town is not anything to make a big deal out of.
So now would normally be the part where I tag people, but I'm not really sure how to
proceed with that just because it seems like a lot of people I follow, if they haven't
done this tag then they've done a different pride tag, which is awesome!
But kinda makes it confusing as to whether - do you want to do this again?
You'd probably just be repeating a lot of stuff you had in a previous video.
I might end up tagging people on twitter or instagram possibly?
Or I might not tag anyone.
I am gonna open this up to anyone who wants to do it, but maybe if I'm going over it while
I'm editing I'll think of some people and I'll be like "hey you!
You specifically!
I want you to do this!"
I was just recently tagged in a video by ChrisVigilante, who did the This Tag is Full of Pride Tag
- I think that's what it's called - and that's basically just doing a bookshelf tour of
all the queer books you have.
I've, well, I've kind of already done half of them but I know there are some I left out,
so I'll probably after this video do a third video doing that, maybe just doing a quick
runover of these past books I did and then bringing up the other stuff I have that I
didn't get a chance to talk about here.
But then I don't know if I'd be tagging people for that tag either because once again I'd just be rehashing.
I mean, I'd like to think there's no limit on how gay you can get but I think once you've
exhausted every available topic I think that's the limit!
But, yep, looks like that's all the gay I have for today?
And so in that case I'll see you all *snap* later!
