Things that make me happy.
Posted by Shannon C. on April 6th, 2006 filed in musingsApparently, the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, which gets to decide what books are made accessible for me to read, has a fairly good sized collection of fiction about people who are LGBT. (By ‘good-sized’, of course, I refer to ‘there actually is one) A lot of the books I’m seeing tend to be meant for young teenagers discovering their sexual identity, and there are some that seem to be more titilating than actually, you know, positive, but it's a start, and since these people don't publish anything remotely resembling erotica (romance novels don't count toward this goal. I'm sorry but they don't.) I am pleased. Now if they'd just get rid of all their freaking inspirational historical novels series, the ones about some family struggling in some distant past and getting right with God so now their struggles are over, I'd be a lot more pleased. (Note this is not a bash against organized religion or anything, I just find religious inspirational fiction about as interesting and compelling as sand paper.
