A question regarding cultural context and sexual minorities --

Is the goal of this community to create an emphasis on characters of sexual minorities or on the marginalization of sexual minorities in and of itself? Or both? Like, say, does placing a (based on current Western cultural context) non-minority character into a new cultural context where ze is suddenly in the sexual minority and exploring zir reaction to the subsequent maginalization while in that culture fit within the guidelines of "marked within their own cultural context" -- even though the culture is not "theirs"? Or does that skew focus?
