Representation is a big deal in the modern age. While some of these books might not necessarily be considered "modern" and a few others might not be conventionally LGBTQIA+, they all DO have representation of one form or another. In an age where people are becoming more accepting, it is imperative to introduce diverse characters to our younger generations and even older generations to show them that there is absolutely nothing wrong with accepting who you are and how to accept the people around you. In recent years, I have seen this improve tremendously and can't wait to see how this improves even more in the future of print media, TV, and movies.
If there's a book you love that isn't listed below, or if you're an author with LGBTQIA+ rep in your book, feel free to drop the title/link to your book down in the comments. I tried to keep this list to ones that I had read, but I slipped in a few that I haven't gotten around to.
