That's fantastic. I totally agree that labels aren't helpful, but sometimes they are necessary. The world is full of books with strong characters and the huge majority of them are strictly het. That is, if there is any kind of relationship it's always male/female. Which is fine. Except the world is not just full of relationship that are always male/female.
It's not just about assigning labels, it's more about people being able to pick up a book and find characters like them and relationships just like their own. I'm wouldn't dream of presuming that I'm the only one who can write those books, I know absolutely I'm not. There are many others out there, so many better than me, that write fantastic books with strong gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, asexual, gender fluid, and all the other shades that make up our rainbow. The problem is, these books are not readily available and we're all trying to do our bit to drag them out into the mainstream so that anyone, not just gay people, who want to read them know they're there and can find them easily.
My dream is that one day there will be gay, lesbian, transexual gender fluid and all kinds of other characters in series that have the success of Harry Potter and Twilight. I'm not conceited enough to think I'll write them, but I want to play my part in paving the way for them. In doing that, I want to give other people a voice because I've banged on long enough
