Well, as a young adult, I read a bit of Clarke, Heinlein, Asimov, and Ellison and detected a certain similar something I didn't quite like about them. I loved the stories and the concepts thrown around ... but they seemed very "Genre-ishly" apart from regular fiction, and that kinda bugged me.
I stayed away from sci-fi after that, so I have no idea if later authors came around to telling genre stories in a manner which seemed less genre-ish.
I haven't read ANY, but I loathe the entire
concept of Fantasy literature. Go figure, since I adore
The Lord of the Rings and other Tolkien stuff. But I can totally see why other people find Tolkien's works "gay" - and that's how I feel about the rest of the fantasy field.
