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.

    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.
