Thanks to Leah for putting these together.
Boy Meets Boy Discussion Questions:
1. Does this story remind you of your first love?
2. How are gay relationships similar to or different than straight relationships in the story?
3. Infinite Darlene is different than any other character in the books, and in young adult writing. How did you react to her?
4. How successful did you find the book in imagining a reality for teens in which queerness is normal? How important is it to do this?
5. Does this book do a good job of portraying a range of sexual orientations?
6. Is this text written more for cultural insiders (queer teens) or cultural outsiders (anyone else)? What made you think this?
7. Is sexual orientation seen as innate in this book? Is it positive or negative? Fixed or fluid?
8. Does this book do a good job of representing diversity outside of sexual orientation?
9. Does this book have something to offer straight teens?
