A Question to Ponder

[hrj]

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?

Or maybe it's because the fairy fantasies of those complaining don't include lesbians. Their fantasies probably don't include ethnic groups that the readers don't consider cool, either.
