Ohohoho so true. It annoys me that writing any sort of minority writing automatically is pegged as a specialized category, even when it's not the intent. It was something I had brought up in a writing class actually... I always have to pause when I think of an idea and go "... if I write this with two girls instead of a girl and a boy, it automatically becomes something else..." which is frustrating. I mean, the same thing is true in other aspects of life too I guess, if a straight couple holds hands in public, they're showing affection, if a gay couple does it, they're being political? Bleh.

A good story will always have bits of both in it. Political without the other side will be dry as unbuttered toast. :\
