Can anyone who keeps up with recent YA novels check my current list of LGBTQ YA sf and fantasy and see if I've missed anything that's come out recently?
PLEASE READ THE CRITERIA AT THE TOP OF THE LINKED POST BEFORE MAKING SUGGESTIONS:
- Vanyel was not published as YA. Neither were Diane Duane's "Door" books.
- Tom and Carl (and Dumbledore) are not identified as gay within the text.
- Sf and fantasy only!
- The book must be available now, not forthcoming at some later date.
- The list is intended as a COMPLETE LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT IS OUT THERE, not a list of non-offensive books. It does not express opinions on the quality, authenticity, or positivity of the portrayals of the characters in the books. Please use your own judgment in deciding which books you wish to support.

I had to make a special note for Vanyel; last time I asked, not only did no one care that it's not YA, they practically threatened to trample me with sparkly hooves if the books didn't get on the list.

Rachel, it's very spoilery to explain all this (this discussion itself may even be too much) but do look for it, good book, great voice(s).
And it has fraternal twins and a bisexual vampire in it. :-)

The Chaos by Nalo Hopkinson features three major characters with queer identities: a gay boy, a lesbian girl, and a girl who could be read as either bi or questioning -> lesbian. Again, they're not the protagonists, but they get a lot of page time.

The article still gets hits, but the link in it is one that I can't update personally - I have to get someone else to do it for me, and it's a hassle. The content is the same, just updated.

According to the list Zombies vs Unicorns also qualifies, though I've not yet read it.

My seventh grader thinks the giant snakes make it science fiction (barely) and he thinks it takes place about 20 years in the future. So I guess he'd include it in your list.
