The (?) means that I really think the character is written as a lgbt character but it’s not explicitly said. I added some new characters from the last time and added the suggestions by storytellerknight so I am reposting it again.
Thanks to queeringcamelot and gawaincomic for more suggestions!

THE LIST CONTAINS SPOILERS.

Here is the list:

• Nimue’s Tale (M. E. Robins), short story of “Invitations to Camelot”: Nimue.
• Once and Future King, The (T. H. White): Lancelot (?) and Mordred (?).
• A short story (I can’t remember which one!) of Mike Ashley’s collection: Kay.
• Port Eternity (C. J. Cherryh): Mordred (asexual), Lancelot (pansexual), Vivian (asexual). Warnings: the characters are not really arthurian (explanations with spoilers here).

• Song of Sir Rod the Long: A Gay Romance of the Round Table, The (Howard Larry): I have no idea! Probably an OC.
• Sword at Sunset (Rosemary Sutcliff): two male OCs, Arthur.
• The Table of Less Valued Knights
  (Marie Phillips): two OCs are gay, one OC is pansexual (or bisexual,
  but I think he’s pansexual) and one very very secondary character (only
  mentioned) transwoman.

*Tristan is reincarneted as a woman and loves Iseult but I don’t know if Tristan identifies as male or female.

** It’s not clear how Nimue and Percival consider their own gender. I think they both seem bigender or demi.

Updates! I added Kay (bisexual), Lancelot (bisexual) and Agravaine (gay) from Lavinia Collins books (Morgawse trilogy has hints of Kay sexuality and it is pretty clear in defining Agravaine sexuality, plus a bisexual OC; Guinevere trilogy shows Kay and Lancelot as ex lovers)
