DID YOU KNOW?
LGBTQ SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS
A large number of popular science fiction writers have identified as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer (LGBTQ). Many of the themes in science fiction novels themselves originate from the life experiences of the LGBTQ community.
It is believed that the very first science fiction writer in history, the Greek writer Lucian (120-150 AD), was also the first gay writer in history. Perhaps the most famous science fiction writer of all time is gay writer Arthur C. Clarke, the author of the book '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
We have identified a number of individuals as LGBTQ science fiction writers. They hail from Canada, the United States, Jamaica, Great Britain, Ireland, and Greece: To see the complete list, CLICK HERE
