Thanks, guys! I'm waiting to hear back from a buddy who writes LGBT spec fic, as he knows of lots of resources.

HRO, no worries, lol. I'd planned on doing no author repeats, much less choosing a single book to satisfy two lists, but eh, I don't think that's happening.

For anyone that wants to do the diversity trifecta and stack novels, Malinda Lo's Ash, Nalo Hopkinson's The Salt Roads, and Octavia Butler's Fledgling fit the women, PoC, and LGBT challenges. IMO, so does N.K. Jemisin's The Killing Moon, though I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

ETA: Justified, all of those authors have written at least one book that explores LGBT themes in a positive way, but I don't think all of them are LGBT authors - so not all of their books would necessarily qualify.
