The book store here tends to throw things that they know are by any LGBT author into their "Lesbian and Gay" book section, regardless of content. I've always been of the same mind as you, though. For me, there's generally a difference of intent behind LGBT fiction and just books by LGBT authors with LGBT characters. LGBT fiction has always felt for me like its more focused on conveying the experience or some sort of issue connected to being LGBT. It's always seemed like one of those hard to pin down distinctions, though.

Yeah, that's how I see LGBT fiction.

The only fiction my local bookstore includes in the LGBT section is romance and erotica. I don't object to its inclusion there (at least I know where to find the erotica), and it's probably better than putting all books by LGBT authors in that section. But I think LGBT fiction is it's own (admittedly difficult to pin down) genre.

I like to think this means that there are random "____ For Dummies" and travel guides and math textbooks shoved into the LGBT section because a concerned clerk started facebook stalking all the authors.
