In many parts of the world, LGBTQ+ individuals are still persecuted, and much of the love stories that represent the LGBTQ+ community are still censored or banned. Sometimes, the stories also take different forms, in retelling love from days past or in short whirlwind romances that burn brightly before burning into oblivion. This is probably appropriate considering the contexts of history and the difficulties that the oppressed or marginalized in these communities faced while fighting to be accepted. Themes of empowerment, joy, resilience and strength in the face of adversity are all prominent features here. While romance in the LGBTQ+ canon similarly contains these fundamental building blocks of narrative, they often go much further.
