Justin asked this question about Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1):
I hope this doesn't sound too rude, but just how much lgbt stuff is in this book? I don't mind it (hell, a book I read recently actually hinted at a lgbt romance between two characters), but I'm curious if it's a major theme throughout the story, or is it more of something that comes up from time to time. I'm really curious about the book, cause the premise sounds fantastic, and I mean, damn is that cover awesome!
AmadorBibliophile I'm curious if you contact authors of other books to ask how much hetero "stuff" there is in the book?

I'm curious if you contact authors of other books to ask how much hetero "stuff" there is in the book?

I mean are you looking for books with ACE/aromantic characters? or books that just don't address sex/romance?

IMHO you are ABSOLUTELY allowed to pre-judge whether or not you want to read a story for absolutely any reason. There are a so many good authors/stories out there...

but should your answers to all of the above be no, though everyone else
who answered you was insanely polite about it (kudos to you Muir & Company!), I am going to call out your question as sexist/heterosexist.
Not "rude."
