A question to those in the LGBT+ community, what's your favorite fiction, be it literature, live-action, animation, etc; with a queer protagonist(s). Just to make it clear sci-fi, fantasy, and historical are cool as well.

    She-Ra is my favorite show of all time. The Owl House is shaping up to be great too but Disney fucked them over by drastically cutting down the last season so we'll see how it ends

    Literature - They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (This one will fuck you up)

    Live Action show - Hollywood on Netflix. Yeah, it's ahistorical, but I can do with some upbeat queer media.

    Live Action movie - Ideal Home. It's pretty funny and I thoroughly enjoyed it

    Animated movie - ??? Though I'd argue that new Pixar movie was pretty gay.

    Animated Series - Tie between Arcane and She-Ra

    Visual Novel Game - Dream Daddy, Arcade Spirits, Coming out on Top (explicit)

    Action Game - Hades

    Western RPG - Fallout New Vegas

        I meant more that the alternate timeline diverges significantly and while I liked it, I can understand that some people wouldn't like the depiction of racism/homophobia/sexism, and how those obstacles were overcome in the show.

        spoiler

        Rock Hudson has a public relationship with a black man, a black woman gets an Oscar for best actress, etc. I like seeing how better worlds could be possible, but I understand that some people would see this as offensively oversimplified.

    Literature: Ninefox Gambit and its sequels (The first book will be extremely confusing but you just have to wade through it)

    Visual Novel: We Know the Devil

    Manga: Teppu (although the queerness is not literally stated, it's super gay)

    Anime: Yuri!!! on Ice

    I highly recommend all of these. None of them are excessively long or annoying and all of them are gay as hell.
