I intentionally don't want to know _anything_ about the personal lives of artists I like, be they musicians, comic book artists or book authors. It's a lot easier to separate the art and artist if you don't dig into the artist's fandom at all. I didn't figure out that Tracy Hickman of Dragonlance fame was a man until the 2010s - and I read the books in the late 80's / early 90's. Teenage me happily thought that the books were written by two women and didn't think past it.
