Re: apologies if this is reading comprehension-fail

That's how I'm reading it. I don't see it as being uncomfortable because he's gay but maybe I'm reading wrong.

I don't see it that way either. I ended up in a similar situation, though I don't typically write slash myself so I didn't feel super uncomfortable asking my friend what he thought. His answer was that it depends on how it's written.

There's a lot of het porn out there. The entire paperback romance genre is basically heterosexual porn for ladies. Do I feel super exploited that people, ladies among them, are doing it in published material? Not as much as I do when I consider actual porn. Lady porn is usually about everyone living happily ever after in a good life with a person that makes them happy. Maybe a little shallow, but not harmful. If a fic isn't just two people fuckin', but that's part of a greater story, no matter how uncomplicated or shallow, I don't really see it as exploitation.

If it is just two people fuckin' and you really like it, then just keep it to yourself around people it might make uncomfortable. It's as easy as that. It's a free country and you can read and write what you want to, but you don't necessarily have to broadcast it to everyone with eyes and ears because tact exists, too. And yes, I think there's probably too much of an obsession with slash, but homosexuality is a hot button issue with people and sometimes I think it's just fandom's way of wildly screaming its acceptance. It's not really hurting anything. It's the same thing I'd say to a heterosexual person who doesn't like porny stuff. Don't read the porny stuff. And surprise, gay people can avoid things they don't like, too.
