Queer texts against LGBT-conservatism Starter Pack

From this post, which is itself also a useful ongoing conversation on LGBT-conservatism along with this off-shoot, but some people might find those too long to reblog. So here’s a shorter post with some resources to get you started, I’m sure other people can add more.
