The 2000s Made Me Gay: Essays on Pop Culture by Grace Perry

The essays in this book look at the queer and not so queer but should have been queer representation in 2000s pop culture.
It's a beautifully written look at how pop culture has shaped the lived experience. Showing how the media we consume shapes our thoughts with realistic depictions we can relate to as well as unrealistic or implied gayness such as the "Is Dumbledore actually gay?" debate.
Overall I highly recommend giving it a read, as someone who identifies as LGBT+ you might find some or a lot of this is relatable, but even if you don't identify on the queer spectrum, I still urge you to read the book.
