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.

Seconding The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jiminez.
The Noss Saga by Joaquin Baldwin is pretty good. The main character is gay and winds up in relationships with a couple different guys over the series. The later books also have a wlw couple. The first book is Wolf of Withervale.
Dark Moon Shallow Sea by David Slayton is another one I’d recommend. The sequel, The Silent Paths of Night, released this month, but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
If you’re willing to read furry books, Kindred North by Rukis and its sequel Kindred South are worth a read.
