Great Books for Gay Teens

Fantasy and Science Fiction:
Mercedes Lackey's Last Herald Mage Trilogy (Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise, and Magic's Price)
pretty much anything by Clive Barker will have gay themes, some have gay main characters, others have gay supporting characters
Ethan of Athos by Lois McMaster Bujold
The Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling (Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness, Traitor's Moon, and Shadows Return)
Becoming Human by Valerie J. Freireich
Jane S. Fancher's Dance of the Rings (Ring of Lightning, Ring of Intrigue, and Ring of Destiny) and NetWalkers trilogies (Groundties, Uplink, and Harmonies of the Net)- sadly, both trilogies are out of print though
Spin State and Spin Control by Chris Moriarty

Fiction:
Dream Boy by Jim Grimsley- and probably most of his other books too
Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown

and here are some lesbian science fiction and fantasy authors who have gay, lesbian, and bisexual characters in most of their books:
Tanya Huff
Lyda Morehouse
Melissa Scott
Ellen Kushner
Elizabeth A. Lynn
Laurie J. Marks

The Last Herald Mage is so good! It's set in Lackey's world of Valdemar, in which Heralds get Chosen by Companions (sort of special horses) and they protect the kingdom. The protagonist of this particular trilogy is Vanyel, a gay teenager with a lot of magical gifts.

I heard that one of Amelia Atwater-Rhodes's more recent books had a lesbian character but I honestly can't remember which one.

I've yet to read anything by Mercedes Lackey but I really want to. I may have to pick up one of the Last Herald Mage series. It sounds interesting.

Gay historical fiction:

As Meat Loves Salt - Maria McCann.

Best book I've read within the gay genre, really. I've linked a review, as well

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and Bookends by Jane Green also have gay characters.

I just picked up Tiger Tiger by Galaxy Craze which I believe focuses on a same-sex lesbian relationship but also deals with bisexuality. I'll find out when I read it but it looks really good.
