I've been working on a query for my manuscript and I'm having trouble deciding on the genre.
It's definitely a contemporary young adult novel, I know that for sure. The issue is that most of the story revolves around the main character's two moms. There is definitely young adult-esque, innocent romance involved, but the point of the story is not the fact that these two women are lesbians. In fact, the only time their sexual orientation comes up is during light and funny scenes.
So my question is, on my query should I classify the book as gay & lesbian? Would I add it so that it would read contemporary gay & lesbian young adult? That seems pretty lengthy.
What do you think?
