I like that too. I got a book for my birthday, Slow River by Nicola Griffith, where the main character is a lesbian. There's no big deal made about it, it just is that way, like said protagonist's describing part of her family as "my uncle and his husband". At the end, when it turns out that the protagonist was molested by her mother, there's no attempt to say that's what made her gay. It's simply an explanation for her dreams of monsters.
