Maybe you should read the blurbs and reviews then. You clearly have a premeditated bias.
All of her work (that I've read and read review of) is great writing and very humorous she has received numerous awards and great acclaim from the literary community.
As far as "Gay Literature" or "Sci fi" or "Fantasy" there is nothing "typical" about any of them they all cover vast ranges of styles, stories, and subjects.
Literature and particularly great literature has nothing to do with labels thrown on it by marketers or reviewers.
Here is the description from Amazon (which btw says nothing that I see about it being in any particular genre)
"Perched right on the Mason-Dixon line, tiny Runnymede, Maryland, is ripe with a history almost as colorful as the women who live there—from Celeste Chalfonte, headstrong and aristocratic, who murders for principle and steals her brother’s wife, to Fannie Jump Creighton, who runs a speakeasy right in her own home when hard times come knocking. Then of course, there’re Louise and Julia, the boldly eccentric Hunsenmeir sisters. Wheezie and Juts spend their whole lives in Runnymede, cheerfully quibbling about everything from men to child-rearing to how to drive a car. But they never let small-town life keep them from chasing their biggest dreams—or from being true to who they really are. Sparkling with a perfect combination of sisterhood and sass, Six of One is a richly textured Southern canvas—Rita Mae Brown “at her winning, fondest best”(Kirkus Reviews)."
The thing that is interesting though is they don't have a Kindle edition....in fact I'm not even finding it as an ebook edition anywhere.
