Alex Sanchez: Rainbow Boys, Rainbow High, Rainbow Road, So Hard to Say, Getting It, The God Box, Bait [high school; mostly gay male, though one (Rainbow Road) has a transgender girl briefly]
Julie Anne Peters: Keeping You a Secret (this and Luna are the only ones I've read by her, but check Amazon; some of her others may have queer characters, too) [high school; lesbian]
Lois-Ann Yamanaka: Name Me Nobody [jr high/high school; lesbian]
Ellen Wittlinger: Parrotfish (I believe she may have written others as well; she had a blog post where she whined about being discriminated against by the Lamdas as a straight author) [high school; transgender (ftm)]
Tanuja Desai Hidier: Born Confused (protagonist is straight, but there are queer supporting characters) [high school; lesbian & transgender (mtf)]
Shyam Selvadurai: Swimming in the Monsoon Sea [gay male]
As for genre, all are just real life growing up stories.
