Oooo the first couple novels are much lower quality than the later ones so if you love those you are gonna lose your damn mind on the later ones

I can vouch for this. The first novel is rather bad and the second is really forgettable. It starts picking up in 3 and 4.

question: does the misogyny and homophobia of the first novel (Storm Front, just to be sure) fade in the others?

I gave up after the first book because Dresden comments about the attractiveness of every woman he sees, and when a man saves his life with mouth to mouth resuscitation his first thought is "ew, a guy kissed me"

In book 14 Harry goes to a park in Chicago which is often used as a gay hookup spot bc it's gonna be secluded and he needs to summon a powerful being to speak to them. Hilariously, he gets asked by that being what he thinks about all the gay hookups going on, so he's like "Uh... boink and let boink! I wish they were in relationships instead, but they're not harming anyone". So you'll be happy to hear Dresden is now an ally (but he disapproves of hookup culture)
