So, I saw a post about this on the xkcd forums, and I was curious if you all had/knew of any LGBT fiction. (That is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer/questioning.)
I'm always kind of shocked by those kinds of relationships when they occur in fiction solely because they are not the norm. I don't mind these relationships and often find them quite interesting.
One curious thing someone mentioned over on the other forums was that writers who are gay portray women in a powerful, non-sexual role as opposed to the either weak/sexual or powerful/sexual role that straight authors tend to fall back on. I think his example was Clive Barker? I'm not sure on that one. I don't usually research my authors' sexual orientations, so I have no idea whether or not this is true, but it is food for thought.
I'll start the list off with some of the only ones I really know
Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness, Traitor's Moon, and Shadows Return by Lynn Flewelling
I'm going to put The Bone Doll's Twin, Hidden Warrior, and The Oracle's Queen by Lynn Flewelling in this category as well simply because the deal with some of the same topics.
I'd say the Asher/Jean-Claude relationship might fit somewhere in this category, but the books are mainly about Anita, so :/ Pam from the Sookie Stackhouse books could also fit in the I guess it would be sub-plot relationship status? :/
But yeah, those are the only ones my poor tired brain can think of tonight. Feel free to add your own and justify/debate them at your pleasure.
