I've run into the same problem. I've read only three published gay fictions and two of those three made me wanna kill myself (though not via AIDS. i was too sick of it by then). I think that to get published in the LGBT section in general, it's required for writers to focus on the subject because it's such a BIG PROBLEM in that population demographic. Whatever. STD's are a problem on the all-over demographic, but we don't see normal fiction strewn with that shit all over its pages. And especially not in harlequins. Ugh.
YOU GAVE IT AIDS AND IT DIED OKAY.
That line made me laugh so bad, oatmeal cookie crumbs shot up in my nose. It was unpleasant but totally worth it. Haha, made my night.
