The image of this writer/reader totting up the gay content of new books, always on the lookout for more.

I read gay and lesbian sex/relationships in Ursula Le Guin and Robert Silverberg books that were written in the 70s+80s. It was as an incidental passing detail, minor piece of character development or to illustrate the world within the book, a background detail. But this writer wants gayness front and centre, but outside of a romantic context? What does that even mean? It seems to me this would mean derailing otherwise engaging adventure, revenge, picaresque and travel plots with heavy handed tokenism; bear cocks and bull dykes from nowhere, constantly reminding us of their sexuality when it isn't relevant to the story.
