Books That I've Read With an LGBT+ Theme, or Characters

In Pride month I thought it would be nice to celebrate all the LGBT+ characters. Unsurprisingly, there aren't that many where the books have LGBT+ characters as the main character, although hopefully this is getting more mainstream. (I have included Goldfinger because of Pussy Galore, despite its cringe-making last chapter from a LGBT+ pov!)
