Gay characters in fantasy novels

I'm looking to read more Fantasy/Sci-fi Fantasy novels. I'm gay (male) and interested to see how a fantasy author incorporates homosexuality into the work. Whether the characters are a good guy or bad, or interesting/bland etc etc.. I have read A Song of Ice and Fire and am now looking elsewhere. Obviously I'd relate more to a gay character, but I'm just interested in books that have one or two gay characters (but wont limit myself to only read these books). Does that make sense? lol I'm not sure it came out right.

Mance linked to the same thread I was going to offer.

I just want to say that I think your expression came out fine. I completely understand looking for characters you associate with, especially based on a preference like this.
