There's only one PoV character in the books themselves, Toby, and she's
straight. But define 'main characters'. Tybalt (the aforementioned
boyfriend) absolutely is a main character, but I take your point about
not-in-the-books. The Luidaeg absolutely is a main character, and her
queerness is explicit on-page in another of those short stories, but in the
books it's not mentioned in so many words--there's a conversation between
her and a minor female character that, once you've read that short story,
you go "ohhh they're exes, that explains that".
May...debatable whether she's a main character? She isn't even in the first
two books, which is frankly the main argument that she's not a main
character. But she is absolutely unmistakably on-the-page in-the-books
queer.
