I get what you're saying OP. With fan fiction people should be able to do whatever the hell they want. You want Dean to bang Sam on the hood of the impala, go for it! You want Bobby to rise from the grave for reasons and have him become a marine biologist, awesome! You want Cas to turn into a catboy who Meg finds in the forest and then Cas becomes her non-sexual pet, that's cool! But have Charlie sleep with a man and people freak the fuck out. On one hand, it shouldn't matter. It's fan fiction and that is all. It doesn't change Charlie's character at all on the show. She's still the red-haired, techno wizard who found the adventure she always wanted. Tweaking her sexuality for a fic really doesn't stop her from giving the LGBT community representation. So what's the harm, really?
In a perfect world, there would be no problem. But we don't live in a perfect world, we live in the real world, shitty world. A place where people have been beaten to death for being queer, a place where someone's sexuality is a determining factor on how many rights they have, a place where so many LGBT youths commit suicide because their bible thumping community tells them that they're wrong and they're dirty and bad and an abomination. So shitty world. That's why it's really not the same to make a straight (in canon character) queer in fan fiction verse changing a queer canon character's sexuality to suit the writer's purposes. It's totally a double standard but until queer bashing is a distant memory, it's a double standard that will be there. (And it probably should be).
