... Erik Schubach tends to write these things, so I'm planning to read *Fixit* soon, and might read *A Deafening Whisper* among others later.
But this gets scattered among many categories. Lesbian, gay, bi, and/or trans science fiction is usually treated as a single category. Smashwords doesn't allow searches within a category. Amazon does but more detailed searches turn up het space opera (the Rika series, which was dark but enjoyable) and a lot of het (?) alpha male cyborg romance (which I've avoided). Disability fiction isn't usually treated as a single category, it's scattered all over.

Perhaps Goodreads would be a better place to find what you want, then. There are all kinds of lists and recommendations there. (Don't really use it myself, it's just the impression I've got).
Edit: have you read the Vorkosigan books by Bujold? It's science fiction and the (male) protagonist has a physical disability. He's straight, though.
Don't know if you read mysteries, but the Lincoln Rhyme detective series by Jeffery Deaver has a paraplegic protagonist (male again, and straight, but still.)
