Because sometimes I just want to write my queer ships without the baggage I actually deal with IRL. If everyone is queer, the dynamic and conflict is the same as a het pairing is in most series. If Linda and Jake want to hook up in a series, the drama is compatibility, other relationships, and will they/won't they. Now look at any series where its Liam hooking up with Jake and the drama is sexuality crisis, homophobic reactions, and bury-your-gays. If everyone is queer then I can focus on the characters and not the rest.

But why would you have to follow the crisis/homophobia/bury-your-gays formula if you didn't make everyone queer? Why couldn't you write about a place where there are people of various sexualities who don't really care who's sleeping with whom beyond the usual petty "but he's so UGLY" or "what does she see in her?"

this logic doesn't really work, since if you're comfortable writing an AU where everyone is queer then why not write an AU where everyone is open minded enough not to care.

I'm sympathetic but I've only ever read one or two cool AUs where everyone was always queer, compared to hundreds of badfic where every character was paired off with someone of the same sex with no regard to character, plot, or realism.
