One thing I will say on the subject of David Levithan- I think it's interesting that his most successful work has always centered or included heterosexuality (Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Every Day, etc.) while he works that center on the often uncomfortable experiences of gay teenage boys (Wide Awake, Boy Meets Boy, etc.) never seem to get adapted or celebrated.

It’s like he knows that most people don’t want to read about gay storylines, except for yaoi fangirls, who often don’t understand male homosexuality.

In my experience, straights are only comfortable with us when we're in the background. Or dying.
