Mercedes Lackey, in which 45% of the population is Gay.
Heh. Sometime midway through high school I became conscious of the fact that "Gay" and "faggot" were insults about something other than simply being effeminate and not good at sports (these were downright lethal sins where I grew up). Couldn't tell you how I clued in that it was actually about being interested in the same gender.
