If fiction where the Thing Story Is About is genre romance, specifically supernatural romance involving, like, animal- or mythical-creature/humanoid shapeshifters, vampires, werewolves, fae, eldritch abominations, and that sort of thing, that may also have action-adventure plots in addition to the romance plots (and sometimes, explicit sex)... then I can rec some of those, pro epubs written by acquaintances of mine, that have background parity for QUILTBAG characters. That is, the story will be about something like (random made up example) how a werewolf and a vampire overcome the historical distrust between their peoples and humankind while also falling in love, and they both happen to self-identify as male, so it's coincidentally gay werewolf-vampire romance but the gay is not the point. Fair warning, many do have some gender binarist leanings even if they're not really steryotypey and obtrusive.
If you follow rachelmanija you may have previously seen her adverts for charity anthologies; though you have to pay for these, profits (30-70% of the purchase price) go to Outright Action International, an international QUILTBAG human rights advocacy org. If you try to avoid Amazon because of Evil Corporate Despot reasons, Rachel might be willing to send you a pdf copy privately in return for a donation directly to OutRight, or to her to pass to them. I provide the Amazon links not as an endorsement, but just for convenience. Her Magical Pet and His Magical Pet are romances with cute magical pets as a big part of the stories, and female-identified/lesbian leads or male-identified/gay leads respectively, who may or may not be entirely human themselves-- one's an incorporeal eldritch abomination, in "How to Get A Girlfriend (When You're A Terrifying Monster)."
Two Mates For The Dragon features all MMF relationships, so effectively bi/pan male-identified people (& dragon-people) and polyamory. I think there's more explicit porn in this one? which may be a point for or against it, depending on your tastes.
Her Wild Soulmate, which featured lesbian romance, appears to be currently out of publication.
