For things set in modern day America, I think it would be almost impossible to not be political. If you include minorities (especially LGBTQ minorities) then you can't write them realistically without politics coming into the picture. If you don't include minorities, then that is itself a political statement. This is of course less the case for more fantastic settings.

It’s absolutely possible to have LGBTQ (main) character and plot lines while totally avoiding all political/ideological themes. Schitt's Creek (TV Series 2015‑2020) is a fantastic example.

  To some (many?) people, even including LGBTQ characters is an idiological topic in itself.

  That was a political statement by imagining a world where LGBT is a non-issue. It was like a TV show version of John Lennon’s “Imagine”.

  Hard when one party is banning books with LGBT themes.
