Two great things that go great together

Happened to get March of Cambreadth on my playlist while reading one of the Horseclans books.
Works pretty good, Since the first time I'd heard the marxch was long after Adams died,, I'd never thought of the two together.
On the other hand, as I read more of the books (I hadn't been able to get at them since the early 90s) I'm having my face rubbed in Adam's homophobia.
The bad guy characters are quite often gay. The nasty sort. Non-con, men forcing boys, women forcing women, and *every* gay character is evil/sick/etc.
Even back in the 80s there were comments about it. a quarter century later, it's something I just remind myself to treat as any other "period literature".
