*g* No, I totally understand what you're saying, and I don't have a problems with any of that. What I thought was problematic was people calling Ianto's death meaningless, somehow weak, and almost dirty, and straight people outright or implicitly accusing a gay writer of being homophobic. The rest is debatable, and I do see your point. It's not as if I wanted Ianto to die; I wanted them to be happy. Somewhere I wrote that I wanted them to have some kind of stupid romantic moment not overshadowed by TW angst, but I should have known this was too much to ask for.
In the end I guess it comes down to story-telling vs. politics, and what is more important to a writer in a certain situation...
