Re: queer fiction by non-queer writers

(Anonymous) 2013-01-10 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I can see why someone would be upset, but this guy was pretty respectful. In the article he specifically defers his experience.

He didn't write a book for the queer crowd. he wrote it for straight people trying to understand the queer crowd. A gay man writing a book about his experiences aren't going to encourage the type of people who don't want to think about gays, or would not like reading about them, will not pick up their book. But they might pick up this.

The people he's writing to see something fundamentally wrong with being gay, and if a gay man is saying his experiences have been rough, they'll not care or say it was coming to him. They might say the same thing here, but with this guy, they might not be saying there was something "wrong" with him.
