I think the step from supporting to major is the sticking point at the moment, as is the step from having gay characters whose gayness is the central issue, as opposed to gay characters who are just there living their lives.
I am not saying there are no books with gay protagonists or with gay characters whose existence is taken for granted, but it's not the way to bet, and there should be more.
