Notes:

This is not your forum to identify and call out specific people just to call them assholes. Call out general actions you find reprehensible, mod ability/inability, that kind of stuff, but once you get into what basically amounts to 'this person is a stupid bitch and here are some icons/an lj layout/add. info to identify them with' - no.

I'm gonna say, read them and see what you think. No single group is a monolith; there are ALWAYS going to be disagreements about whether something is well-done, even if it actually is a legitimate portrayal.

(For example, when Cameron's Avatar came out, there was a large disagreement within the disability community. Some of us felt that the representation of Jake as being not yet adjusted to his disability was realistic and we sympathised because this is how we felt, but other people disliked it because he didn't accept his disabilities and wanted to be abled again. Both views are valid. That said, there are plenty of other problematic elements to that movie, but that particular issue got a lot of disagreement.)

I personally didn't have an issue with her portrayal of gay characters, but admittedly, a lot of what I remember is subtext (I haven't read Will of the Empress or the Beka Cooper books... waiting for the last Beka Cooper book to come out in a couple months so I can read them all together). Tammy has been pretty up-front about how happy she is that YA is more open now because she can write about issues more openly, rather than having to sneak it in.

Give 'em a try. Your library should have them. They're popular enough. :)
