Re: [LM_NET] SEC: gay and lesbian novels

[David-Glenn Anderson <Rffdyr@AOL.COM>]

The lists seem incomplete with some books missing so I went to Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_science_fiction

I was able to add to Wikipedia:  David Gerrold has a YA series that starts
with Jumping Off the Plant.  A father kidnaps his three sons and goes to the
moon.  One son is gay.

Gerrold received a Nebula for a short fictional version of The Martian Child.
 He later expanded it to book length.  The story is biographical -- a gay man
adopts a child.

The James Tiptree, Jr. Award  http://www.tiptree.org/  is an annual literary
prize for "science fiction or fantasy that explores and expands the roles of
women and men for work by both women and men". It's named after Alice B.
Sheldon, who wrote under the pseudonym James Tiptree, Jr. for many years before
revealing her identity and real name.
