As far as fiction goes, I haven't read enough good LGBT fiction to have a favorite.
But for LGBT books in general, The Girls Next Door by Lindsay Van Gelder and Pamela Robin Brandt really helped me out with figuring out my sexuality and coming out

I am much enamored of Annie On My Mind right now. But that may change... and change quickly. I am known to be horrible at picking one favorite book/author.

i'd have to suggest Far From Xandu and Between Mom and Joe by Julie Anne Peters.
Far From Xandu is about this one lesbian girl who meets this new girl in her town out in the middle of no where... and well if i actually say anymore i'll end up giving away the book. i suggest you guys read it for yourselfs and find out.
Between Mom and Joe is about the son of two lesbian mom's and what life's like for him and how he deals with the trials of it all...
i'd also say Keeping You a Secret and Luna but two others have suggested those one's... but i still have to say you should check 'em all out.

Prince of Pluto Rainbow Boys/ High~ i'm sure everyone knows these. There's also Rainbow Road; it's the final book in the series. Quote: Although, I've never read Order of the Poison Oak or Split Screen. They're amazing! I also forgot about Totally Joe by James Howe.

Favorite...favorite...I can't really decide on a favorite. But I do like Alex Sanchez's Rainbow trilogy: Rainbow Boys, Rainbow High and Rainbow Road.
I also like Desert Sons and its sequel, Into This World We're Thrown by Mark Kendrick.
I absolutely adore Poppy Z. Brite. She's definitely not for everyone, but I can't get enough of her. My favorites from her were Drawing Blood and Lost Souls.

Mistified Mm, can't say I've read a whole lot. But my most recent novel was Running with Scissors, Memoirs from Augusten Burroughs, which had plenty of homosexual innuendos. So, I enjoyed it much. Mostly because it was so crazy and disturbing. ^^ I'm not sure if 'innuendo' is the word you're looking for, but I agree that it's a very enjoyable read. It's too flippant to be a truly insightful work, but it is a great antidote against the horrible, horrible "Memoirs of Abused Children" genre that's sprung up since Dave Peltzer and filled whole shelves of Borders to pander to people's most prurient pleasures in sublimated porn. Running with Scissors is probably the book I've lent to the most people over the past couple of years, as whenever I see someone in work reading a Sickened or a Little Prisoner or a Please Daddy, No! or whatever, I've pretty much torn it from thier hands and put the Burroughs book there instead.

My favorite one defenatly has to be Luna.
It's about a transgender boy [Liam] who calls himself Luna.
But, the only other person who know's about Luna is his sister.
And, he only ever becomes Luna in the privacy of his sisters room, using her makeup.
In the novel, Luna decides that she wants the rest of the world to know about her, no matter at what cost.
So she decides to reveal herself for who she really is.
It starts off with ocasional trips with her sister to a mall out of town, until she can feel confortable being herself in public.
This really is an amazing book.
It's by Julie Ann Peters.
I suggest that you all read it.
It explaions alot about trangenders, and completely changed my perspective about them.
:]
