I think to an extent, it can be normal not to be as interested in media that deals with themes that aren't about "us." I think it's what we learn, too. I think it's easy to get the idea that things about or geared toward people who aren't like you won't appeal to you. It's not a...nice thing to realize, I guess, but I don't think it means you're homophobic so much as that you like things that pertain to you.

I gravitate toward LGBT fiction because I relate to it and find it fascinating. But I know on a subconscious level, I gravitate away from fiction dealing with groups and experiences that are very different from mine. I often enjoy it when I do read it, though, so I think it's largely a perception thing. It's not actually that I can't relate to those people or find them interesting.

If you didn't watch a movie because you learned one of the characters was gay or something, I'd kinda find that questionable. But I can understand why as a straight person, you might feel that something like "The L-Word" (to think of a random example) isn't for you and wouldn't be interesting to you.
