I like a lot of Lackey's stuff, but I must admit that I find the constant pushing of the "gay agenda" in some of the Valdemar books to be a little "over the top". I don't have the slightest issue with characters in a book being gay (that is, after all, simply a reflection of the real world), but I find that in some of the Valdemar books it's "pushed forward" to such an extent that it gets in the way of the plot-line.

She doesn't do this in any of her other books; I'm not sure why the Valdemar books have it as such a prominent feature of them. Presumably it was deliberate, but I can't imagine why. Did she deliberately write them for the gay fiction market, I wonder?
