Are there any good fantasy/sci-fi novels that have gay main character(s)?

Marion Zimmer Bradley wrote an SF/fantasy series called the Darkover series. Some of the books have gay main characters and others have major characters who are gay, though it's not specifically a gay series.

The Heritage of Hastur's main characters are gay. The villain in the book, Dyan Hastur, is also gay. I think there is another book in which Dyan Hastur is the main character, can't remember the title of it.He's also in several other books as a side character.

The Shattered Chain, Thendara House and City of Sorcery have major characters that are lesbian.

There are some mystery series with gay detectives. I think Carl Hiassen is one author whose detective series has a gay detective. Lawrence Block's very funny Burglar series has a straight male detective whose best friend and assistant is a gay female.
 
I recommended Hero by Perry Moore!
Its being developed into a television show!


Thom Creed is a high school basketball star. His mother abandoned the family and his father is a former masked crimefighter who retired in disgrace following a national incident and now works as a lowly worker in a factory. Thom's own superpowers are beginning to manifest themselves, as is his homosexuality. But Thom must keep his powers a secret, for fear of further disgracing his father and risking his hometown's homophobic wrath.

But as Thom's sexuality becomes more troublesome, he decides to run away from home. He immediately becomes mixed up in a battle between some villains and The League, and does well enough to be invited to try out for the team. Thom is accepted as a trainee, and assigned to work with a group of other probationary heroes. The stress of keeping so many secrets from his father exacts a painful toll.

Soon, however, the world's superheroes begin dying under mysterious circumstances. In order to solve the mystery, Thom must reunite with his fellow outcast trainees and deal as well with society's prejudices when his secrets are revealed.
 
I don't want the entire story to revolve around their relationships, just that the main character happens to be gay and may or may not have a love interest. For example, the main protagonist in Mercedes Lackey's Magic Pawn/Promise/Price trilogy is gay, which really surprised me (in a good way) since I've never come across gay characters outside of fanfiction. If not, are there any good fantasy/sci-fi novels whose main character(s) is male, and never develops a female love interest throughout the plot?
Thanks!
