Protocols of the Elders of Sodom
Alright. I've had a crush on this queer Scottish author, Hal Duncan, ever since I read Vellum while I was in Germany. (This month Ink, the sequel, finally comes out! I've been waiting for MONTHS!!) Anyway, he writes really good fairly non-linear, vaguely Joycean sci-fi/fantasy on an epic/mythical scale, as well as a blog. Here's a link to a particularly good entry in which he rants intelligently and amusingly in response to some homophobic asshole.
Requisite excerpt:
Hardly surprising that when your infantile morality holds the reins of power, defenders of homosexuality make the mistake of accepting your terms of debate. They believe that all they have to do is prove to you or persuade you that their sexuality is a matter of birth rather than choice, nature rather than nurture. They believe that you will then be forced by your own logic to accept that if it's natural it cannot be immoral.
We, the Elders of Sodom, make no such mistake in assuming a capacity for rational thought from you.
