Notes
1. Acronyms are used throughout this special edition with slight variations and with the overall intention to be as precise and inclusive as possible. In general, LGBT is used to describe themes, since most texts are not already queer but, instead, are queered through the processes of reading, discussing, and interpreting. Occasionally, however, some contributors include Q in their naming of texts to indicate the queer possibilities that are afforded in some children's and young adult literature. Finally, LGBTQ or LGBTQQ are used to describe people, with the additional Q indicating questioning because people have the capacity to question, unlike themes and other inanimate things.
