this post mentions some books

And here is the Diversity-in-YA LGBTQ tag.

I haven't read through that tag, but it's pretty much all recent stuff. Not, however, all SFF stuff.

Thanks!

Young Avengers had a 13-issue run in 2013 under Marvel NOW with an almost all-queer cast.

No way! Did you read it?

[lorata]

I did! I enjoyed it a lot. :D

I wouldn't exactly call 'em YA, but both the books I have coming out this fall - a novel, Being Small, and a short story collection, Bitter Waters - feature teenage gay characters.

There's "The Fosters," a Family Channel drama about five kids (mostly foster children, mostly teenagers) being raised by a lesbian couple, which I believe is now going into its second season. And apparently the more high-profile, "Gossip Girl"-ish "Pretty Little Liars" includes a lesbian character among its central ensemble of teen (anti?)heroines. I think that show's been around for something like four years, although the lesbian aspect may not have been revealed until partway through the first season, or possibly later.

Not out yet, but this book is YA and will have canon m/m (among the main characters, I suppose, but I'm trying to avoid spoilers now that I know what I wanted to know).
