A more recent example could be 'Gideon the Ninth' by Tamsyn Muir. It has a complex world - building with a lot of queer representation, including gay relationships. The story is set in a sort of post - apocalyptic, space - faring universe with necromancers and cavaliers, and the gay relationships are an important part of the characters' development and the overall plot.
There might be a book like 'The Stars are Legion' that could potentially be in that 2016 list. It has a unique world - building aspect and also touches on gay relationships within its science - fiction narrative. It creates a complex and engaging story world that explores various themes including those related to gay characters.
There's also 'The City and the Pillar' by Gore Vidal. This was quite revolutionary when it was released as it dealt with homosexuality in a more upfront way in the context of a story that has elements of science - fiction. It was one of the early works to do so and has had a significant impact on the genre.
One such book is 'The Queen's Gambit' by Walter Tevis. It combines the world of chess with the life journey of the main character. Another is 'Endgame' by Samuel Beckett which has some elements that can be related to chess in a very abstract science - fictiony way.
They often feature diverse sexual identities in futuristic or otherworldly settings. For example, they might show how different societies in space or in a post - apocalyptic world view and accept gay relationships differently from our current society.
One great spider - themed science fiction movie is 'Spider - Man: Into the Spider - Verse'. It combines amazing animation with a multiverse concept where different versions of Spider - Man come together. Another is 'Arachnophobia' which has a more horror - science fiction blend, dealing with a deadly spider species. And in the book realm, 'The Silver Spider' by Isaac Asimov is an interesting read that involves a robotic spider in a science - fiction setting.
Another example could be 'The Stars Are Legion' by Kameron Hurley. It features a diverse cast of characters, including gay male characters, in a gritty and complex science - fiction universe filled with political intrigue and strange technologies.
One great example is 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin. It features a world where gender is fluid, and the main character's journey is filled with elements of science fiction like exploring different cultures on a far - off planet. Another is 'Giovanni's Room' by James Baldwin. While it may not be a traditional science - fiction in the sense of spaceships and aliens, it does deal with complex human relationships in a somewhat otherworldly way through the lens of the gay lead character's experiences.
One example could be 'Blade Runner 2049'. The movie has a gloomy and rainy atmosphere in some scenes which gives a sense of melancholy, much like autumn rain. It combines science fiction elements such as advanced technology and a post - apocalyptic world with a very moody aesthetic.
One book could be 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Although not directly about the 'gay chubby daddy' theme in a traditional sense, it explores complex human relationships in a way that can be related to broader themes of non - traditional family or friendship dynamics. Another could be 'To Kill a Mockingbird', which delves into themes of acceptance and different types of relationships in society that can be seen as a precursor to more inclusive themes like those in the 'gay chubby daddy' non - erotic context.
One example is 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin. It explores themes of gender and sexuality in a science - fictional, alien world with elements of political and cultural exploration that could be considered in a historical - like context.
