Straight women, gay fiction?

I found an interesting article on Electric Lit. https://electricliterature.com/why-are-so-many-gay-romance-novels-written-by-straight-women/. I’d like to know what you think about the issues raised in the article. As a writer, I find some of the absolutism of the article’s author a bit disturbing. I also wonder if that means that a gay male author shouldn’t write about straight people. On the other hand…well, there are a lot of other hands. I would love to engage in discussion on this topic.
