Desperate for more LGBTQ Sci-fi/Fantasy Fiction
I'm hoping to read more genre fiction about characters I can relate to. Though I tend to be wary of historical fiction due to a tendency to end in tragedy, I'm willing to give most stories a chance. Even fiction with a slight surreal twist would be of interest. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I look forward to bulking up my collection of LGBTQ fiction.</t>

Also I'm a huge fan of Martha Wells' All Systems Red. The main character is agender, aromantic, and asexual.
Maybe you're looking for more books that actively include non-straight relationships, but I thought I would mention them since they're very good and void of straight romance.
If you actively want romance: in The Fire's Stone by Tanya Huff, the main three characters are a guy who is bi, a guy who is questioning (he's from a culture that is homophobic, though the majority of the book isn't set there), and a girl who is aromantic and asexual (though the author wasn't aware of the terms). I'm currently reading it and it seems alright so far. While I don't want to look into it to spoil myself, it seems likely that the main two guys are going to end up together (unless the three end up polyamorous, which doesn't seem entirely impossible so far).
Also there are a ton of lists out there with LGBTQ+ books, though I don't have any specific ones to lead you to. Good luck on your search!

I see some really good stuff on there, a bunch that I've read and enjoyed. Ellen Kushner's Riverside books, for example, are praised for their diversity and for being LGBTQ-friendly, with focus on LGBTQ characters. I would definitely start your search here, hope it helps!
