I supervised a really fun independent study two years ago on LGBT literature. We started with The Well of Loneliness and ended with Angels in America. I know what narrative you mean, and the books I'm reading from the last five years are making very different choices. One Last Stop is particularly interesting in that regard because it's explicitly reading 1960s-70s queer history against the 2010s as part of the plot, and looking at what has and hasn't changed.
