Lost Gay Novels is a 2003 reference guide written by Anthony Slide that provides commentary on 50 works of gay literature published between 1900 and 1950 that Slide found to be not well known by late 20th and early 21st-century audiences.

The book does not comprehensively cover gay literature from the time period, nor was it designed to be a recommended reading list, but rather covers books with different outlooks on homosexuality and gay issues and the context of their times.

The novels discussed in the book have historically been both ignored by researchers and overshadowed by the history of gay pulp fiction and erotica.

Widespread realization that this "Homintern" was happening was partly the influence for homosexual panic.
