I will have to look up K.J. Parker, because she (he?) sounds pretty interesting!
Fantasy is my out for designing a society using any elements that I see fit. world-building is one of my favorite aspects of writing, so that way I can mix and match, and don't have to spend the next six months researching some semi-esoteric historical setting where queerness is not big deal so I can explore how people's personal orientation tints their prejudices. Or something.
