umadoshi: (sleeping on a book)

I don't mind being asked. ^^ I am indeed female, and [personal profile] scruloose and I are both cisgender and straight, and in a monogamous marriage. (I tend to have similar default assumptions when interacting in fandom, FWIW.)

None of Seanan's POV characters are queer, no. (Which is on a technicality untrue, but for what you're asking I don't think it qualifies--the Newsflesh character I mentioned in my reply to [personal profile] alexseanchai narrates one of the novellas in first-person, but as I said, his bisexuality never comes up in the actual material, just in an offhand comment Seanan made once on Twitter.)

I second [personal profile] alexseanchai's opinion about May being a main character in the Toby books.

Two fairly important characters in Newsflesh are IDed as bisexual (two women who dated but broke up prior to the series); for the record, I'd hesitate to call anyone but Georgia and Shaun the "main characters" in Newsflesh, but both women have very significant roles in the books.

Oh, and there's a married gay couple in the first Newsflesh novella, one of whom comes as close as anyone to being a main character in that particular novella (it's very...decentralized, I guess I'd say?), and there's a poly triad in another novella, and IIRC one member of the triad is a central character in that story. But I suspect the novellas may not count for what you're asking?

No main characters are coming to mind in InCryptid or Indexing (although it's been a year since I read Indexing, and I forget whether some of the characters' orientations were specified).
