so i ran out of reading materials…or rather, i can’t find anything that i wanted to read in the house…so, here i am, in barnes and noble. i looked around and found a few books…and finally wandered down to the gay and lesbian section. i was hoping that i would find something that i can find interesting. what i did find, amazed me.
there was one full shelf of erotic writings…which is a pleasant way of saying porn. there’s nothing worthy of the word “literature”.
why is it that looking for “gay” literature means that i want to read hard core porn? isn’t there any novelists out there that write homosexual material…without delving into the world of pornography? how degrading is that? what do you expect the rest of the world to think of the GLBT world when you walk into a popular bookstore, you look and the only books you can find on any gay or lesbian subject is graphic porn.
sad…
