This will become more relevant when I write a review of the book I'm currently reading, but for your general consideration:

When a fantasy author writes something characterizable as a "lesbian fairy tale", why does the reading public seem to demand more justification for the presence of lesbians than for the presence of fairies?

The point being that I'm reading a novel that includes both lesbians and fairies, but in reading discussions of it online, I see a number of people complaining that the presence of lesbians in the story is of questionable plausibility, but nobody saying anything similar about the presence of fairies.

So, you mean that the people reading the book are complaining about the presence of lesbians? And the presence of lesbians is clearly stated in advance? I have no idea.
I am as confused as you are.
