  • Mood: discontent

So .. parts of the internet are up in arms

Over the submission guideline changes at LLF en ré their awards for LGBT authors and their works that have LGBT characters in them. Straight cisgender people are all butt hurt. Queers either cheer or jeer. It should all settle out in time. In the meantime there are a gazillion posts where the comments are divided into some which are very worthy and some which reek so much a one hundred mile radius is not enough.

I often wonder in situations like these how far the comments would go if everyone were forced to write letters instead of having the easy access of the internet to vent their prejudice.
