Or is it that we can't have a gay character without the book being about them being gay.
And by gay character, I mean a MAIN character, not just a side character.
It was hammered home to me when I was in class and we spent TWO DAYS of class time talking about why the characters in a novel are gay.
Do we ever spend hours debating why characters in a novel are straight?
Noooooooooooooo
God, this is getting really annoying to me. Being straight isn't all straight people think about, being gay doesn't mean you constantly base everything in your life around being gay...
So...why do we look at a book about a gay man and assume that its about him. Being gay.
Or having the AIDS.
It bugs me!
Am I alone? Or am I just reading the wrong books?
