Yeah, most of my characters are gay or bisexual, and I suppose critics could accuse that of being "political". I don't honestly think it's any more political than having a cast without a single gay person at all, though I guess it could get sort of preachy if the story is all about LGBT issues and tolerance. But I write about gay characters because I'm more interested in gay relationships than I am straight relationships, and I'm gay myself. And as you said, there are so few gay characters in media, I don't mind being accused of being political if I'd like to broaden representation a little bit, too.
