It wouldn't bother me but I suspect any story where the main character is gay will be less "this is x characters quirk" and more "heres half a book about him dealing with being gay, gay relations, gay sex like every other autistics slashfic on the internet" and then we have a terrible book.

Moreover it would have to fit in with the lore of wherever its set, I can well imagine it makes sense for there to be quite a few billion gay IG, but if the author were to make a book about his private fantasies of 700 pound space marines plowing each other then again, terrible literature.
