In enjoyed reading In One Person, by John Irving. He creates endearing male characters in this small town all-boys boarding school in Vermont, and tells a sympathetic story about people whose sexual orientation and gender assignments are not conventional or easily definable. For Billy, the protagonist, the story starts in the 1950's and continues into his old age, illustrating the many changes those decades have wrought. I would definitely recommend it.
