Re: What fandom trends do you dislike?

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely.

But that doesn't make it inherently gross and unethical for a girl to like m/m pairings or a guy to like f/f pairings.

As a gay person - who has actually dated and had sex with people of my gender and faced some pretty nasty homophobia as a result - I'm absolutely aware that shipping gay ships doesn't mean you're not homophobic and doesn't mean you get to speak for gay people. Though I'm not clear what these "LGBT literary awards" are for. Are they to recognize gay, bi, and trans authors? Or are they to recognize stories focused on gay, bi, and trans plots? If it's the second, it shouldn't matter what the sexuality or gender identity of the author is.

The decision of the committee responsible for the awards was that the awards served both purposes: to promote LGBT authors and to promote LGBT content. And professional authors of m/m romance threw a fit arguing that they were god's gift to gay lit. It was a few years ago back on livejournal.

Meh. Sounds like an award I'd have no interest in putting my stuff in the running for, and doesn't really sound very professional either. I don't need to be recognized "because I'm gay". And while all my original work has m/m or f/f, none of it is about "LGBT issues" so whatever.
