Date: 2011-06-10 05:14 pm (UTC)Personally, I think there's a distinction between m/m romance and gay romance, with the former frequently leaning towards the highly specific, yaoi-tinged side of things. Lovely for some people, and I've read wonderful things written that way, but I'm not so much into the men-who-act-like-women-with-penises thing. That said, I find, because there is no homogeneous 'gay culture' - if you take as given that sexuality is as much descriptive of personality as hair colour - there is a wonderful breadth of opportunity that comes with writing GLBT titles. Also, it's a sector of publishing that's seeing massive growth, which is good, even if it is through indie publishers and 'small' presses (some of which are not so small anymore!). Mind you, 'romance' has changed massively as a genre as well. I can't keep up....
