Good to see that doesn’t have to happen anymore. Some of that drives me crazy, just like the mandatory miserable ending to so many of our stories.
I was reading up on the history of gay stories, gay pulp fiction, and almost threw something at the computer when I read that the “drama”, the completely unnatural tragedy in all those stories was written that way to get published. Gay stories could only get published if they showed just how terrible LGBTIQA lives “really” were.
need to do some more research on that but it made me sick reading it
