Stonehenge: Where Atlantis Died - Leon E. Stover and Harry Harrison (1983)

Not a gay fantasy, but a fantasy that has gays in it.
It takes place in ancient ages (ancient as in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, not 200 years ago which is ancient for most Americans). The topic of homosexualiy is not the main theme of the book, but it pops up from time to time, and being in ancient times, people are very tolerant and no one actually raises an eyebrow.

That's not why I read the book :P. It's quite decent, although some may find it a bit dry. Stover was an anthropologist, and the pair of authors (not a gay pair ;-) tried to keep the story plausible within the context of known history. On the other hand it might be regarded as an unusually thrilling history book. There's quite a bit of drama over typically not very epic topic - tin ore. There actual wars fought over tin ore ! Why, you might say ? Because tin mixed with copper forms bronze, and that's a good material for weapons and a source of military power.

The book actually tries to form a link between Atlantis and Stonehedge. Yes. There are ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and even Celts.
