I was following links from Ralan.com, looking at new calls for spec. fic. submissions. One link led me to Journey Books Publishing, which is reading for a book called UNPARALLED JOURNEYS 2. Sounds exciting, eh? Well:
We do not accept work that promotes gay lifestyles.
Says their guidelines. Hmm. That language, both "promotes" and "lifestyles" makes me feel gross. I wonder if they will accept work speculative work that interrogates gender ? Or that dismantles sex roles? Or that challenges heteronormativity? You know...all those things that excellent science fiction can do, has done, should do, will keep doing...
I just wish they would say that instead of "promotes gay lifestyles." YUCK.
