Frenemy of The People (Bold Strokes Books, 2014)

Clarissa and Lexie couldn't be more different. Clarissa is a chirpy, optimistic do-gooder and a top rider on the school's equestrian team. Lexie is an angry, punk rock activist and the only out lesbian at their school.

When Clarissa declares she's bi and starts a Gay-Straight Alliance, she unwittingly presses all of Lexie's buttons, so Lexie makes it her job to cut Clarissa down to size. But Lexie goes too far and finds herself an unwitting participant in Clarissa's latest crusade. Both are surprised to find their mutual loathing turning to love.

A change in her family's fortunes begins to unravel Clarissa's seemingly perfect life, and the girls' fledgling love is put to the test. Clarissa and Lexie each have what the other needs to save their relationship and the people they love from forces that could tear them all apart.

The End: Five Queer Kids Save The World (Prizm Books, 2010.)

A story of time travel, nuclear war, magical amulets, and first love. A group of LGBT teens must travel through time to save the world from nuclear war.

As far as I know, The End was the first YA novel to have a genderqueer/non-binary transgender main character, although I had never heard the words “genderqueer” or “non-binary” at the time. (I would love to be proved wrong, so if you know of an earlier YA novel that matches that description, please let me know!)
