Hate how I don’t get to stay comfortably at MY parents house because I’m CF

Basically in a few weeks my sister is having a baby shower in our home city. I was going to go sans husband (he wants to save PTO because we are in the process of buying a house) and stay at my parents house which is very large and accommodating. Normally it’s just my parents and my aunt living there. Well turns out my brother and his family are coming in and so are a family of my sisters friends — all staying at the house, with a multitude of kids. Where I will stay now hasn’t been taken into consideration even though I already bought plane ticket. I am tempted to be petty and be like “Oh well guess there’s no
room for me and my child free self at the inn, guess I’ll cancel my plane ticket then” and send my sister a gift in the mail. I could pay for three nights at a hotel but the aforementioned house buying has made everything expensive and I’m not super keen to spend money on that.

This also isn’t the first time my brother has swooped in with his wife and four kids and uprooted my spot and made it so I had to go and sleep on a couch or an armchair or something. Im 35 and just over it.

Queer books where the queer aspect may be a bit of a spoiler?

A few years ago I was obsessed with the show Our Flag Means Death and would praise it to anyone who would listen as a “gay pirate love story”. This got me some pushback because the love story between the main leads isn’t actually revealed until the second to the last episode (if you have half a brain you can pick up it’s a romance earlier tho) and some people snapped saying I was “spoiling” the show. But people openly told me they wouldn’t have watched just a pirate comedy show, but they were interested hearing the MCs do fall in love.

This makes me wonder what books I’m missing out on. What books are being gatekept from me because of SPOILERS. Maybe a character comes out as trans in the third book in the series, a love triangle unexpectedly becomes a throuple (that happened in a novella I read recently that you guessed, I got spoiled for).

So yeah not looking for know LGBTQ books here found in Pride displays. Some subtle ones I know about: Natasha Pulley works, The Tainted Cup.
