Science Fiction That Could Turn You Queer If Only For a Nanosecond...

[fajrdrako]

Cute (and interesting) article here about gay-friendly SF by Annalee Newitz, which is worth looking at if only for the brilliant title: Science Fiction That Could Turn You Queer If Only For a Nanosecond.

Description of Torchwood: It will not only turn you a little queer, it will make you want to go to Cardiff. Which is really perverted.

Some of my favourite gay-themed SF and fantasy isn't mentioned: Samuel R. Delaney, Elizabeth Lynn, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Vonda McIntyre.

Thinking about this led me to this list that I didn't know about: The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards, "given to works of science fiction, fantasy and horror which explore gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender topics in a positive way." What a great source of reading recommendations.
