This situation is ridiculous. And to be honest with you, I can't believe anyone would suggest to a writer that they need to change their boy/boy story to girl/boy. Seriously, WTH?

...because when you sweep issues about anything like this - sexuality, race, gender, whatever - under the rug, it sends out the message that a certain way of life is "wrong" and another isn't, and that's not a message I can support.

Yes! I totally agree with this.

I've actually had The Hollow on my TBR pile for ages because it sounds like an interesting story.

I wonder if all of this will have an effect on future anthologies?
