So throw out legitimate world building and add in sexuality where it hasn't been before to promote a sociological movement? Seriously?
Er, that IS legitimate world building and not a sociological movement. It makes the plot and world setting richer and more interesting if characters are genuinely diverse, and I can think of some awesome plot hooks to hang on pretty much everything [MENTION=98772]Ichneumon[/MENTION] talked about. Not because it's political, though political plot hooks can be fun, too. Because it's rich, and diverse, and has the potential to be really excellent storytelling and world building material.
Generally speaking, you impoverish stories and worlds by limiting them, and enrich them by making them more interestingly diverse.
