Agents who rep books with QLTBAG protagonists?

Pretty much any agent who isn't repping to the Christian market.

agentquery.com has Fiction--Gay and Lesbian as a category, that brings up a list of agents interested in that genre.

It seems like an agent eager to rep a "Gay and Lesbian" novel would also be pleased to rep a novel that "happens to have a gay protagonist", given that they like both The Gays, and Novels.

In my brief exploration of Agent Query a while back, I found that not all agents who I'd seen stating an interest in LGBT fiction were in the "Fiction -- Gay and Lesbian" category anyway. (Colleen Lindsay was one, when she was an agent.) I think Medievalist's suggestion to query every agent who seems suitable for your project and isn't repping Christian lit is a good one.

Cheers.

Yeah, but I guess I'm thinking of the agents who don't have "gay and lesbian" as one of their categories (which is a majority of agents.) I mean, if I've already sent queries to the handful of agents who have both "science fiction" and "gay and lesbian" as categories. I don't know. Maybe I'm over-thinking this.

GLBT or gay and lesbian as lit means much more than having queer characters.

That said, it's a guide that should your genre otherwise fit their interests, they won't reject it for fear of teh gay.

It might be worthwhile reading through the blogs or tweetstreams of agents you are considering, to see if they have any problems with gay and lesbian material - plus you get to learn a bit more about the people you will be sending your work to.
