Another story could be 'A Little Princess' by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Sara Crewe, the little girl, experiences the tyranny of Miss Minchin when she loses her fortune.

In 'Anne of Green Gables', Anne sometimes encounters authoritarian behavior from the strict adults in her community. For instance, when dealing with school authorities who have very traditional views.

Another lesson is about the power of intelligence. In 'Matilda', Matilda uses her brainpower to overcome the authoritarian adults. It teaches that knowledge can be a tool to fight against unfair authority. These stories also often show that being different is okay. Pippi Longstocking is different from the norm, yet she thrives in her own way.
In the story 'Matilda', Matilda is a highly intelligent little girl. She often challenges the authority of the adults around her in an authoritarian - like manner.

One common theme is the struggle against social norms. In these stories, gay characters often have to fight against the established ideas of what is 'normal' in society. For example, in many historical settings, homosexuality was considered abnormal or immoral by the mainstream, so gay characters in authoritarian gay stories face this kind of social 'authority' that tries to suppress their identity.
A prevalent theme is the impact on self - esteem. The non - authoritarian partner in these stories may experience a decline in self - esteem due to the constant control and criticism from the authoritarian partner. Also, the theme of secrecy can be present. Sometimes the authoritarian partner may enforce secrecy about the relationship, which further complicates the relationship dynamic and adds to the internal and external struggles faced by the couple.
I'm not sure there are many so - called 'authoritarian gay stories' in a positive sense.

Another story might be 'Power Struggles in Love'. It portrays a relationship where the older gay partner assumes an authoritarian role.
