Here's one to tick off all these boxes: Don't Call Us Dead, by Danez Smith. It was one of my favorite books I read last year. Queer black nonbinary award winning poet, they are freaking amazing. Read with a box of tissues handy. Here's a taste, listen to them read their poem C.R.E.A.M. :https://poets.org/poem/cream

Brontez Purnell, 100 Boyfriends. Doesn't get much gayer. Plus it's good

Just finished this one, and agreed - gayest book I've ever read! Also some great writing. Kinda like a Tales of the City cranked up to eleven in every direction.
