By who? Unless you're clicking tags on netflix I don't think anyone is going to have this hypothetical convo:

Oh there's a great episode you should watch

Oh whats it about? Tell me more?

Its gay

Oh ok thanks, all I need to know.

The quote is about them calling it a "gay story" not a "post apocalyptic gay love story". The reductive 2 word description is rightfully annoying to a man who brought a well written and fleshed out love story to life, only to be told he made a "gay story"
