100% agree with this. It feeds into the horrid stereotype that gay men, in particular, are still dealing with - that they are predatory in nature. I am a little surprised to see it in the book. Though, I wonder if it was there to give the secret police the obvious proof they needed to say that Steve was living in an illegal way. It seems clunky, yet again, like much of the rest of the way this was handled.
