Pride

"As a member of the Outer Alliance, I advocate for queer speculative fiction and those who create, publish and support it, whatever their sexual orientation and gender identity. I make sure this is reflected in my actions and my work."

As part of Outer Alliance Pride Day, members are posting the above in conjunction with fiction or blogposts commenting on queer speculative fiction. I highly recommend this blog for those who want to know more http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?p+1630

I am not yet a member of The Outer Alliance, but I wanted to participate and show my support. I can think of no better way to commemorate the birthday of one of my best friends than to acknowledge this particular Pride Day celebration. She would most certainly approve, Harry Potter fan that she is, openly living as a homosexual woman in today's world. I only this morning discovered the existance of this group, through my affiliation with the Kiwi Writers. What serendipity!
