That published-fiction thing is actually one of the reasons I love Seanan McGuire. Her queer characters are on-the-page QUEER.

(Which, okay, if you haven't read a particular Toby Daye short story published on McGuire's website, you won't know that about Toby's boyfriend, because it's not in the books in so many words. But it's still unambiguously textual canon, and also there's several people who are in-the-books-queer.)
