Bibliothèque Gay
 "Amateur de beaux livres, passionné par la culture homosexuelle, je partage ma passion sur ce blog. Je propose une promenade au sein d'une bibliothèque personnelle, en espérant que cela créera de l'échange et fera découvrir à certains la richesse de la culture littéraire homosexuelle. J'espère vous offrir de nombreuses découvertes dans l'immense continent de la littérature et de l'histoire homosexuelles, notre patrimoine commun."

 Mostly visual site, but with lists of gay SF books published in French - a much larger list than anglophones might expect.
