Media where the characters are incidentally gay/trans/nonbinary/whatever that isn't issue fiction already exists. There's tonnes of it. Maybe not compared to cis het fiction but there's still a lot. It's frustrating to see this same refrain in the comments every time this topic is mentioned when it's not even hard to find.

I write this stuff. I write gay, bi and lesbian characters almost exclusively. I'm primarily a romance writer but I also write SFF. I'm legitimately published and get advances for my books. I have absolutely zero interest in writing about homophobia. It's a bummer in real-life and I'd rather write about societies where not being straight is no big deal. No publisher or editor has ever asked me to make it an "issues story".

If you want to find this stuff, there are LGBT reviews blogs. There are LGBT publishers. Say you wanted to read a fun space opera that happens to have a gay MC. Head on over to Riptide Publishing, click their sci-fi section, filter for gay MCs and there you go.
