Date: 2011-09-24 05:22 am (UTC)One book that comes to mind off the top of my head is Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran, which I believe was marketed as a YA... idk if it would count as a spoiler if I said who the gay character is in that one, but it is a major character. I will think about it and see if I can remember more books...
