Why do homosexuals these days write only about LGBT shit? What makes their subculture such a toxic place for writing literature that aspires to be great instead of just LGBT?

What will the feminists do when they realize that the only good female and gay writers were the ones who had to pretend to be straight men?

BEE is a flamboyant faggot, but he not only wrote about that.

Because people exploit their identity for personal gain. It's the same reason Sex Drugs & Cocoapuffs was full of hick shit, because that hick shit was considered a disadvantage by Manhattan publishers even though it clearly wasn't because he was able to get rich off it.

There are plenty of good fag writers (Sedaris comes to mind) who don't write exclusively about their experience from a gay perspective. Also, there are plenty of books that are about a gay perspective that are great. What is Dorian Gray other than 200+ pages of I'MMA SUCK A DICK AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU UGLY CUNTS CAN DO ABOUT IT

This.

I do appreciate when these issues are less central to the story, where it's just incidental that a character happens to be lesbian or w/e.
Fair Play is an excellent example.

>> No.6526780

Because works about such issues will receive more praise for being relevant to the contemporary struggle of pity group X and will not only get more praise but will be immune to criticism.

Try called the next 'muh slavery' movie shit and see what happens for example. It can't be bad, you're just a bigot.

Who is the best fag author of all time and why is it Hemingway?

>> No.6526789

I imagine that it's mainly just the ones who write about being gay that are getting the spotlight in this, since that's a bit more controversial than a gay man writing a mystery novel. I've also heard that in the modern literary world, stressing one aspect of your life that disadvantages you (like ethnicity or stereotypes) is what gets people ahead now.

IT'S DEGENERACY ENCOURAGED BY THE LIBERAL JEWISH MEDIA WHO WANTS TO SUBVERT WESTERN CIVILIZATION

THESE DAYS FAGGOTRY IS OKAY TO WRITE ABOUT.
TOMORROW PEDOPHILIA WILL BE OKAY TO WRITE ABOUT

Fegit here.

I only wrote about my homosexuality in my diary, I'd probably never include it in a book if I wrote one.

I don't care about my sexuality when reading. I actually can't think of a single gay character from any book I've read. Barun Harkonnen was a gay pedo if that counts and... That's it.

Has /lit never tried reading gay erotica? As a lonely fag who longs for a well written gay romance, I've found that a lot of gay romance is written by straight women.
I actually hate writing about gay issues as a writer, but I keep thinking of a realistic gay romance novel to break up all the shit straight women have been writing about us.
