I will still read it but I am never happy about the added useless drama. They are way too common since the "success" of twilight and a lazy writing gimmick. And they are always with a straight woman in a middle. Never with LGBT characters. Also, It would still be dumb even with that but at least they would get points for originality. And it isn't realistic. The attraction for someone in real life is only very seldom split between two people equally. The characters typically have so many more important things to worry about. So what irritates you?

The thing that always annoys me in fiction is characters falling in love at first sight, be it in romance novels or in any other genre. I know it happens in real life, but in fiction it just seems like lazy writing, like the author didn't want to bother with developing the relationship. It doesn't matter if the characters falling in love are straight or gay or bi, it's always equally irritating.
In movies it's less annoying than in books, but somewhat still.
