Both The Turner Series and Seducing the Sedgwicks by Cat Sebastian have canon LGBT characters - they’re gay romance novels, and even several of the minor characters are implied or stated to be LGBT in some way. Nominated LGBT characters are Lord Courtenay and Julian Medlock from the Turner series, and Will Sedgwick, Hartley Sedgwick, and Martin Easterbrook from Seducing the Sedgwicks.
Additionally (and on a totally different note in every way but “canon LGBT characters”), Oliver Appropriate, an album by American alternative/ emo band Say Anything, is about a man who falls in love with another man. It’s not clear textually whether they’re gay or bi (you can make a read for either imo), but both nominated characters (Oliver and Karl) are canonically LGBT. it’s a much darker canon, but also maybe half an hour to listen through (and less to read the lyrics / supplemental materials on the promo post)
