Title: A ringing endorsement
Post by: Uncle Mort on September 15, 2022, 09:11:28 AM
Perusing Amazon for something new to read I came across a science fiction book (my favourite genre: quelle surprise!) that sounded interesting. All well until I got to the end of the review. The last comment:
A must read for all sci-fi LGBT fans.

 eeek: A sub-category too far I'm thinking.

I don't know Shrugs:

I realise that these folk had a rough time in the past and I'm a easy going chap concerning the sexual proclivities of others, but the politicalisation and the pushing of agendas of what should be private views and tastes I consider a step to far.

Why work hard to write a story or screenplay that has a good plot and well defined characters while subtly incorporating your agenda when you can just blatantly push the message and call anyone who is critical a bigot.  noooo:
