I like gay romance novels. A lot. I like the very idea of gay romance novels -- there are, in fact, young, queer girls and boys who want to read romance novels about people like themselves, and can. And they do not always end in death and disaster (anymore, or so I am told).
I am (along with Paul Stevens and Liz Gorinsky and some others) trying to figure out ways to publish more books with queer protagonists here at Tor/Forge.
I'm sorry to quote so much of you back at you, but, like sgreer, this makes me so, so, so happy, and I wanted to see it again.
When I talk to my friends about the MS I'm working on (and am about to finish first draft, thank god), I say to all of them "We WILL have happy gayboy endings. I'm sick to death of unhappy endings, particularly unhappy gayboy endings. I hereby decree that anything I write will have happy gayboy endings."
Older guy with younger guy? Story of MY dating life. Maybe I should write a romance next.
One of the reasons I like the movie Trick, which some many people dismiss as trifling and cliche'd and lightweight is that it was, quite simply, a fun little romantic comedy for US. I loved it.

Sorry. Just babbling happily.
