I think there's room for both kinds of stories, but tbh I do gravitate towards media where there are LGBT characters but the main plot-line is battling demons, solving crimes, traveling in spaceships or something, more than ones where it's all about being LGBT(and how much it sucks).

ayrt

There's definitely room for both kinds, and I don't begrudge LGBT media for existing at all. I read that stuff when I was a teen coming to terms with my sexuality - and I guess that's why I feel I've sort of outgrown it, or at least it isn't as meaningful for me as it was back then. It really just comes down to a preference in genre, I suppose. I'm just personally a little tired of the coming-out/homophobia/tolerance narrative because I've lived it, been in the LGBT community and heard it irl a million times, and it doesn't interest me in fiction anymore.

Oh I get how you feel, sorry if I made you think I didn't, and I do understand what you mean because sometimes I just want a story where characters are LGBT and no one cares y'know? They just are and it's not a big deal.

For me at least I think why coming out stories or even stories with more LGBT stuff is something I still like is because I've only really been out to myself for maybe 5 years? So it's still new and meaningful to me if you will.

But I do absolutely get where you're coming from.
