I was doing it
A L L W R O N G
Because I thought about it,
I thought of
David Levithan
and his books
and I thought of
Alex Sanchez and
HIS books,
and
I thought about
Julia Anne Peters and
HER books.
And after I was done
thinking I realised
I was doing what
I hated.
Boy meets Boy isn't
a gay story.
It's a story about love.
Keeping You A Secret
is not a
lesbian love story,
it's just a love story.
Rainbow Boys Trilogy is not
a gay trilogy it's
a story about growing up and
getting along and
being in love and
being scared and
being stupid
and being brave
and being
a
friend.
I'm just thinking about them as
being about gayness because
they are gay,
even if you take away everything they
are love
stories
and
that's
it.
Love Is The Higher law--
about 9/11.
I Am J--
Being yourself--
a common theme.
Wide Awake--
finding courage and
finding yourself.
All these books,
and I've been looking at them
W R O N G.
I mean,
ten years ago
Boy Meets Boy
and
Keeping You A Secret
and
Rainbow Boys
was a
H U G E D E A L,
but now...
not
so much.
Maybe it's from living in a
household where gay
didn't exist,
Don't get me wrong,
I still want a book about
a character living in a
fantasy world or
utopia as a..
clone, maybe.
Or a dragon slayer.
