Fiction with LGBT parents?

Can anyone recommend fiction where LGBT characters as parents is fairly central (but it doesn't have to be the most central thing in the story). I'm sure I've come across some but I didn't seem to have much luck when I tried to search for it. I'd prefer novels, but will happily take short story recs as well, and YA recs are totally welcome too.

Family Pride by Laurence Cinq-Fraix, about a lesbian couple and a gay couple who decide to become parents together. It's a great book, but my quick search for English translations gave no results so unless you happen to read French it might be no good.

If you like graphic novels I'd really recommend Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, which deals a lot with discovering her father's homosexuality, always kept secret.
