Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Michael Vey and SO many other bestselling series are way popular WITHOUT LGBTQ. Plus, it's gross. Keeper is popular enough and good enough without that junk. I wouldn't call LGBTQ+ 'junk'. If you're reffering to romance in general, then I do think kotlc could do with a bit less, but since there are straight relationships in this series, in my eyes it would make sense to have LBGTQ+ ones, as well. I would say that there are diffrent things that can make a book good, and representation is one of them. If it's all just white, straight people in a book, then what about the all the lesbain, transgender, asian people that are reading? What representation do they get? It wouldn't be fair if the only books anyone could read are about non-LGBTQ+ people.
