Okay, so I noticed this a while back: even in Mangago, our lord and savior in all things yaoi, if you try to look for a yaoi science fiction, you get a comparably limited selection. Why is this so?
And in general, why does science fiction (including mainstream) seem to always stray from including LGBT themes? (Here, when I mean LGBT, I mean explicitly. Subtext is always great, but for the purpose of this discussion, not relevant.)
Yeah looking at the relatively small sci-fi sections makes my heart hurt. I love sci-fi, but its core audience has always been straight white males. Its hard to change when what you've been doing for decades has been working just fine. I think most artists are either not interested in sci-fi or have just not been exposed to it.
majority of women mangaka is not that much into scifi, siimilar to action. preference, methinks. it frustrates me because i like both (since im originally a seinen/shounen reader)
Shonen-Ai and Yaoi Sci-fi, while not many are around. The plot for these kinds of science fiction focuses more on "I'm in love with a robot/ my robot looks like my former lover". And there's a lot I believe. take note that we're talking about translated works, so mangago despite its huge library, still hasn't included many of its other works.

We were talking specifically about YAOI sci-fi manga If you haven't noticed. And I said RELATIVELY small, which means in comparison to other genres. It is a fact that women (both writers and readers) are not the core audience for the sci-fi genre. It is heavily marketed towards males, so I would not be surprised if there were women who have next to zero experience reading or watching sci-fi.

I really hope you aren't some screeching feminist who has to make everything discriminatory ... If nkt some authors in yaoi must jist not like sci/do

Check out "No.6."
And If you're looking for novels, try "Luna: New Moon." It's really good!
