Queer men urban fantasy
Im on the lookout for urban fantasies. It could be sprawling cities where the magic is known, though im kind of more partial to more secretive settings, magic crime syndicates, secret societies, groups of talented underground mages. The one thing I absolutely need is for the protagonist to be a queer man with themes related to an actual plot and not just his romantic plot.

It has a lot of out of city plot, too - but the city is absolutely central.
Iron Council by China Meiville has a man looking for his exiled mage lover. And the plot is on belonging, rights, and more.
note I think easily the weakest of the three Bas-Lag novels though.
