The Dragon Keeper "Controversial?" Hobb and sexuality. *Major Spoilers up to RWC!

[redchild]

I've read so many fantasy books (and books of other genres) that simply do not deal with a variety of sexuality... and in some books where it does, and has only tiny references to it, it can portray it in a very negative light. I've seen that in a few books now, and it makes me wonder if the author is homophobic, or if they are unaware of the negative portrayal in their books *shrug*

It's almost as if if you want to make a villain more evil, make him/her gay. Or a be pedophile. Or have some strange fetish. Or a combination of these.
