On the night after the messy Iowa caucuses, tidy, self-possessed U.S. presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg addressed his supporters. “Looking out at you,” he said. “[I’m] remembering how it felt to be an Indiana teenager, wondering if he could ever belong in this world. Wondering if something deep inside him meant he would forever be an outsider.”
It’s unclear, at present, how Buttigieg will fare in the hurly-burly of the coming campaign, but that evening, with indications that he’d won more support than many had predicted, he looked like a one-man embodiment of the “It Gets Better” campaign of a few years ago. When he was growing up, there were relatively few books and movies pointing the way for children who worried their sexuality would take them outside life’s pale.
The cultural landscape has changed since then. A slew of recent young-adult releases present role models for LGBT teens , with one fictional youngster engaging with the Anglo-Irish writer Oscar Wilde, another worshipping at the altar of British pop star David Bowie’s androgynous persona Ziggy Stardust and a third attending writing workshops named for award-winning African-American, lesbian sci-fi writer Octavia Butler.
