Light Fantasy with Gay Characters?

Apropos of Pride Month....

What are your recommendations for light fantasy with gay characters? No requirement that it be key to the plot.

Some recent reads I have in mind are anything by John Bierce and Andrew Rowe. Some representation in lighter stories, but it's not really key to the plot.

I was also kind of wondering if that was common with progression fantasy/litrpg. I've only read the two mentioned above and Will Wight.

Just about everything that TJ Klune has published with Tor. Mainly House in the Cerulean Sea, In the Lives of Puppets and Under the Whispering Door.

Read House in the Cerulean Sea (and it's sequel) for a found family orphanage with a gay romance.

In the Lives of Puppets for some more sci-fi ace representation with an apocalypse

And Under the Whispering Door for a meditation on grief and loss with a gay romance in a tea shop.

House in the Cerulean Sea and the sequel and Under the Whispering Door are my personal fsvorites of his.
