Personally I read fiction for pleasure and escapism. I'm not interested in fiction books with an agenda, even if I happen to agree with that agenda. It's an instant turn-off. When I want to read something "challenging normative ideas", I read nonfiction.
Moreover, I'm not interested in the author's gender, skin color or sexual orientation. They play exactly zero part in how I select my reading material.
The above doesn't mean I have anything against minorities or think they should not express their views. Not at all. I just can't stand propaganda in fiction. We had enough of that in the Soviet Union to last a lifetime.
