There are no stars at all for some of us

Hey! Internet! I've just been talking about how much it sucks when a novel kills off its queer characters. Especially when there's, like, one of them and they're the one who doesn't make it. Can someone point me toward a list of books where that doesn't happen? Spoilers, whatever.

Hmm. There's Joel Lane's novel "The Blue Mask". Caveat: there's a queerbashing at the heart of it, but the central characters do make it to the end. There's a lot about Genet in there, odd story-games, and a play (I think Joel actually wanted to "adapt" a Genet story for that, but the estate wouldn't let him).

I just need most of Joel's books in my life, don't I?
