This study claims that an LGBTQ+ themed memoir, All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson, and possibly similar texts can be used by teachers in the L2 English classroom in an approach of raising gender identity awareness. The memoir is examined for its potential of raising gender identity awareness in the L2 English classroom through a method of close reading the memoir. Along with the close reading, the memoir is evaluated against previous research and steering documents for the English subject in Swedish upper secondary school. The memoir’s teaching potential is demonstrated by a sample lesson for the English subject in Swedish upper secondary school.
