If you like a story with lots of intrigue, some humour, and detectives, then you'll enjoy Judge Dee.
There really wasn't much bigotry about m/m or f/f in China at all until outside influences got more of a hold. In the books, it's interesting to read that Dee, as a Confusist, has little respect for Buddhists, and vice versa. That surprised me just as much as the lack of bigotry towards the same sex relationship.
