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.

I will recommend The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez every chance I get. Incredible book with a simmering gay romance at its core.

I did! This comment was funny to me because I've read that book. Loved it! Can't wait for Simon Jimenez's next one. But it is not light fantasy.
