Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : So a friend of mine recommended some fantasy books by this author for me (18M) to read.  So I look up some details on the author's most popular series (the Broken Earth trilogy) and found that there were many LGBTQ+ characters.  This didn't bug me as I have read books with gay characters before such as Rick Riordan's books (in one book there is a character who literally switches between being a boy and a girl randomly) and Perks of Being a Wallflower.  Afterwards, I found this quote that she said and to sum it up she said that all of her books feature her personal political views heavily.  “But what I write ends up being very political. If I write about dragons, I’m writing about dragons as a black woman, and it’s fucking political.” 

I brought this stuff up with my friend and she said that it was kind of true and that there was even a sex scene with two guys in it.  I told her that I don't think that I want to read the series because as a straight guy I don't want to read about sex between two guys and that I don't like it when authors get political in fictional books.  She said that I was being homophobic and that if the sex scene had two girls in it instead that I would be all for it.  I tried to tell her that as a straight guy, reading about a sex scene between two guys and two girls weren't really comparable.  I told her that I've read books with gay characters before and she said that is basically the same as someone saying "I'm not homophobic, I have gay friends."

My sister (whose gay) says that she understands that a straight person wouldn't want to read about that but that I should still buy the book and just skip the scene when it comes up.  My parents say that I don't need to buy anything that I'm not 100% for.  But now I feel kinda guilty and am starting to think that there is something wrong with my POV.  I mean gay people watch straight romance scenes (at least my sister does) but I always skip romantic scenes with two guys whenever they show up in a show or movie.  Now I'm starting to think that I'm some sort of closet homophobe.
