Especially in fantasy and sci-fi, if your society isn't like this society we live in, why should it have homophobia just because. It's not any more interesting than any other kind of conflict and the Cinderella has a class and family conflict built into the story that gives the interest and makes people continue to read that story and archetype. It doesn't need anything else unless you really want to put it in and then it might be sort of... stuffed full of unnecessary conflict that detracts from the Cinderella story quality of a Cinderella story.
My thoughts are very rushed, just had to get it out before I disappear for a few hours. I really like this post.
