Selling Books with GLBTQ Characters

Why can't you sell your "gay" book into the mainstream? Here are some thoughts on it.

I have a book that's SF/F but the main plot is a gay romance, and the action plot is really secondary; is that worth trying to sell as SF/F?

For what it's worth, I'd suggest you do a rewrite and flip the focus so that the action plot becomes primary. SF/F has no problem with gay romance secondary plots.
