I had thoughts on the article about the agent who asked two authors to de-gay their YA novel (a story which has now come under dispute by the agent in question; my thoughts on the resulting pushback are best summed up in this tweet by Scott Westerfeld, but I digress). It turns out that ![[personal profile]](https://imgprx.livejournal.net/00c6c5c288d38abbc4b132234780e09581d7bfcf/7-c1xcdxorI2-K9ZZ2Ip_1Hc4-rmfFdHTsNoRAEJiAg5PaHhxIN1BZtQdKtX8xyDyilVtdeh4JE2AO_ZFDc0ooRI8mkkEy2cHat4vdF888c)
renay also had thoughts, and we bounced those thoughts around and off each other, and we posted the results over on ![[community profile]](https://imgprx.livejournal.net/4ffdbd0f02b4d01bc49e8fbe47e212bb33fbfa12/7-c1xcdxorI2-K9ZZ2Ip_1Hc4-rmfFdHTsNoRAEJiAg5PaHhxIN1BZtQdKtX8xyDPtJy42VQtf0VuO_BHi6OS6D-Bl69k9Jj2ICiLcbcVkM)

I found this a useful overview of the whole did-they-or-didn't-they-ask-the-authors-to-de-gay mess: http://www.yahighway.com/2011/09/field-trip-friday-special-edition.html
I'm disappointed, though, that the focus hadn't shifted so strongly onto the she said/she said drama, because no matter what any one agent did or did not do, this is a real issue that deserves discussion. I came across this overview today, which is even more thorough; it may, in fact, be my favorite post in this whole discussion:
