Haven't we dealt with this crap already this year?
Oh wait: Yes. Yes, we have.
From Say Yes to Gay YA, an essay by Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith:
We are published authors who co-wrote a post-apocalyptic young adult novel. When we set out to find an agent for it, we expected to get some rejections. But we never expected to be offered representation… on the condition that we make a gay character straight, or cut him out altogether.
Gross.
