What I hate is novels where the author has an agenda. That agenda may be anti-gay, pro-gay, anti-Semitic, pro-Jew, anti-gun, pro-firearm, or whatever. If it's obviously an agenda, then I don't like it. However, if the various things I've mentioned above and other similar things appear in a novel - but they have a reasonable relationship to the novel and are not just thrown in to promote an agenda - then I am usually OK with them. But it does depend on how often mentioned and how flagrant they are.
