That sounds like many of her straight characters as well, at least in her most recent Valdemar books.
(Then again, that's what I'm hoping for when I open up on of her Valdemar books...)
I've often read reviews that ask "Why was this character ____? It has no relevance to the plot." (Fill in the blank with a creed or orientation or ethnicity or whatever.) It doesn't have to be relevant to the plot. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.
