What we’re about
A few years ago I joined a Romance book club looking to discuss Romance novels with other readers. At first it was great, but then we kept reading white, cis, het Romance novels. When novels that fell outside of that category were discussed, there was a palpable discomfort. When an alien-human Romance was mentioned in the same sentence as "diversity", I knew I needed to create another space. So, this is Romance Gets Real! Here, we'll discuss BIPOC and LGBTQIA representation and its intersections in Romance novels and other media. (squeeing and gushing allowed and encouraged!)
