So she asked me to post it for her. This is what she wrote: Well, since you've asked... The answer is basically "not that I'm aware of." Most of what I have found at that reading "level" is focused towards teens (e.g. Love Rules and What if Someone I know Is Gay). Pat Parker's book of poetry might fit at this level as well. The complete references can be found on the WE LEARN website: (http://www.litwomen.org/learnmats/issues.html#glbt) another source of titles does come to mind though -- that include some children's book with glbt parents. I created a list for the feminist bookstore I have worked for (Amazon Bookstore Cooperative in Minneapolis).You can find that list at: http://www.amazonbookstorecoop.com/glbteduc.html it was designed for teachers and parents and has books on it for youth and children - some of which may be of interest and reading level for adult literacy students. Let me know if this helps. Mev
