Check out Francesca Lia Block ... I mentioned her before. And probably just about any of the other books mentioned in this thread would be YA appropriate.lincolnp wrote:I have a nephew who is transgender - are there any LGBT books appropriate for YA?

It's called "Hello," I Lied by M.E. Kerr. Weird title, but I remember loving it when I read it.

My recommendations :
Angels in America by Tony Kushner
It's a personal favorite, and I've read it several times.
This monumental work by playwright Tony Kushner — staged on Broadway in two three-hour parts, but collected here in a single volume — is one of the most important pieces of theatre in the last 50 years.
At Swim, Two Boys by Jamie O’Neill
Jamie O’Neill’s epic novel is a passionate love story that follows two teenage boys and their entanglement with an older man amid the Easter Rebellion in 1916 Dublin.
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the self-actualization and sexual awakening of a young black woman caught in the post-Reconstruction South is a beautiful portrait of a nearly forgotten generation of African-American women.
Valencia by Michelle Tea
A bible of sorts for young lesbians in the ’90s who identified more with riot grrrl than Lilith Fair, Tea’s autobiographical novel is the breathlessly told story of a blue-haired girl named Michelle whose life in the Mission is a beautiful mess of drugs, art, and especially women.

That was my first LGBT book, and I love this book. Plus it's set in the 1800s, which is interesting.
