China Mountain Zhang by Maureen McHugh
A future where China is the dominant global power. A main character who is a gay communist Chinese man. Very character-driven and told through many perspectives, this is supposed to be one of the better written SF novels of the past quarter century.
Just another recommendation for China Mountain Zhang. It's seriously an excellent novel.
Moving Mars by Greg Bear. Similar to Red Mars in a lot of ways, but with a focus on one narrator.
Edited to add China Mountain Zhang by Marueen McHugh. Different glimpses of life after humans have colonised Mars, both on Mars and Earth.
I'd like to point out that as a woman, I'm as likely to be alienated by a male protagonist. If I let that stop me, I'd miss out on a lot of great books.
As far as gay protagonists go... I don't remember reading a large number of books with gay protagonists. The one the really sticks out in my mind is China Mountain Zhang and it was fantastic. I certainly did not feel alienated or have trouble relating to the protagonist. I wish I could think of some others I've read... Now I'm thinking that I'm lacking in a category of literature!
