Curiously, one place where mainstream publishers are having a tremendous amount of success with gay-male characters, themes, and authors is YA.

FWIW.

And these books are often crossing over to an adult readership, nostalgic about high school

Yeah there is some success with YA, but most of the gay fic titles are pretty categorized as drama books as opposed to genre fic.
