Re: queer fiction by non-queer writers

I think it's less about straight people wanting praise for writing gay characters (there are some, but I don't think it's really the majority) and more about the fact that the media in general seem to treat it as revolutionary if someone who's straight dares to write or play a queer character. I personally think it's awesome when people include queer characters in things and think we should definitely encourage more of it, but that kind of "OH BUT HOW COULD YOU WRITE ABOUT TWO WOMEN KISSING/PLAY A DUDE WHO KISSES ANOTHER DUDE? YOU ARE SO BRAVE." stuff that the media likes to pull, while sometimes overlooking queer writers/actors doing those things because it's not generally viewed as being as risky, can get a bit tiring. And it also kind of perpetuates the mindset that being LGBTQ is weird.

Ahh yes, now I understand. Yea that really gets on my nerves as well, and I long for the day when people can write gay love, and it's no 'big huge deal'.

My apologies, gobbledigook.
