Outer space is, well, scary, if I'm being honest. But also cool! In fiction, at least. So I have compiled a list of books that are set in space and on other planets and also gay.

I'm back with more first lines of books! As I have said many times, I don't think the first line is the most important. I don't think most people are going to stop reading if the first line isn't amazing. But I still think it can be fun and interesting to look at them.
