Some of my favorite stories involve just that a story. You find yourself involved with the situation the character is involved in. Then you learn, either through his/her eyes what they like, what is normal for their world, and what is the problem. Sometimes being gay isn't the issue but the fact that they married someone of a different race is. Being gay is just a part of it unless you are strictly doing a sex scene, and those usually just tick me off if there doesn't seem to be a reason or build up to it.
