Males/Females/Gays/Fforde

I took a break from coding and went back to reviewing this week.  
I'm about halfway done with 1.2.10.9 Portrayal of males/females/gays 
(about 400 posts).  It's fairly straightforward, though a bit 
repetitive.

My question is this:  should we separate gender from sexual 
orientation?  The flavor of the gender posts (are there strong 
female characters, could Harry have been written as a female, is the 
WW sexist, etc.) is quite different than the flavor of the gay 
character posts, which all center on whether she would write such a 
character and how it could be done without offending the religious 
right.

Any thoughts?  I've just picked up another coding batch and I'll 
wait for feedback before going back to reviewing.

If anyone is looking for me, I am Lost in a Good Book.  Mrs 
Hathaway34 sounds just like any number of posters at HPFGU; I shall 
have to decide which one.  But can someone tell me why Marianne is 
wearing *Victorian* attire at Norland Park?
