Count me in! I agree with every word you said. There is nothing wrong with erotica - it's fun (and I can't write it well). But calling all LBTQ work erotica or giving it five stars/flames/whatever is very misleading. I've learned to ignore the erotica label, but it would be good to know just how many pages in a story are devoted to sex before I bought it. Maybe as a percentage? Once upon a time I insisted on plenty of detailed sex in whatever I read, but now I find myself skimming or skipping a lot of the sex scenes I don't want to spend money on a novel that is 50% or more sex scenes.
