More and more LGBT characters are being introduced in book series, especially in the last decade. The YA genre has grown to be much more inclusive of such characters and to shine a positive light on them. As such, there have also been canon couples of respective sexual orientations that share a healthy and adorable relationship. Here are some of the characters’ ships that the fandoms treasure.
