LGBT Question

How do you feel about straight authors writing about LGBTQ characters?

I've had this story idea in my head for a while now and it involves a lesbian relationship but as a straight girl, I am unsure as to whether or not it's appropriate for me to be writing about that.

So I was just wondering, how do you feel about straight authors who write about LGBTQ characters?

I think it's fine.

How do you feel about J.K. Rowling writing about The wizard world when she isnt a witch?

Pretty much the same thing. -1 being completely fictional. But unless the book is written to make lgbt folks look terrible then idgaf.

Eh, who cares about the author's background. What the author writes and how good it is matters.
So go write it.
If its hated, it will not have anything to do with your sexual orientation, or if its good, then your sexual orientation still had nothing to do with how good it was lol. I mean, an LGBTQ person can write a story about heterosexual relationships and wouldn't have to ask a question if he/she/whatever can write about it.
Chances are, I won't ever know the sexual orientation of the author, unless of course, everybody just keep mentioning it just because.

If they know what they're talking about, and actually write the characters well and don't just use them as queerbaiting, I don't mind.
