Re: queer fiction by non-queer writers

[elialshadowpine]

I think it soon becomes very limiting if we can only write about people like us. I am queer, and while I certainly have queer characters, I would be very annoyed if it were a requirement.

When I was growing up, I read books about queer characters that I'm pretty sure were written by straight authors. (At least, I don't think Mercedes Lackey is queer?) I can't put into words how much reading about someone like me helped me.

Nowadays, queer authors have more resources, but, I think that "only $minority can write about $minority" is a dangerous trap to fall into. That's a quick way to end up with a very homogeneous story. There's tons of resources out there for writers who are interested in writing The Other, and there are crit groups and the like for a reason.

Agreed, and perhaps, just for myself, I do hope the day comes when we are not seen as 'The Other', when we are thought of as just as normal, and natural as sun, the wind, and the sky.
