But if they're presenting two characters in a gay relationship, then they _are_ writing about my lifestyle. I'm a gay man in a gay relationship.
By the same token, then, is every piece of het fic written about the lifestyle of every person who is in a het relationship? Should people in het relationships get upset every time they read a book in which some het couple does something that that reader would never do? "My husband and I never have sex outdoors...how *dare* that writer imply het couples do! It's just cheap masturbatory writing, it degrades me and all other hets."
