15. I used to feel that way. I was really resentful about ittoo, because it felt like people wanted any excuse to have characters fuck each other and that gen stories weren't appreciated. I don't like sex being forced into a story, or when authors feel pressured to write sex because that's what so many people in fandom seem obsessed with, but sex can also intensify the relationship between the characters and add a lot more to a fic, because hey, people have sex. I still sometimes feel like people focus too much on porn, but not all stories with explicit content are for the sake of smut, and I know certain authors would be offended if you were to dismiss their stories as 'smut' stories. It's all about balance :P

28. LOL! I had the same reaction you did when I realized how many people in my fandom are gay or bi. I sometimes wonder if I would be as comfortable about my own sexuality if it weren't for fandom. People seem very open-minded here, and I haven't experienced any prejudice regarding my sexuality. It's so strange when I started noticing people's reactions outside of fandom, because I'm so accustom to everyone being okay with it, the idea of people being not-okay seemed so...out there XD No one's been hostile though. Unless you consider being told homosexuality is a disease and unnatural 'hostile'
