Not reading any GLBT fiction at the moment, that's only because I finished Cross, James Patterson, and am in the middle of the 10 volume tome, Chronicles of Amber. I've enjoyed Amber, sci-fantasy(?), but 1200 pages is too much time to commit to a book. However, if I remind myself it's truly 10 books in one, it's somewhat more manageable.

I try to read an Amber book, and then pick another selection in between each book. Working so far.

Did that just make any sense?

:o)

I love it!

Who cares if the discussions about dinner/gay books/or straight movies with gay actors/or gay movies with straight actors.

It's about the CONVERSATION!

And look, it's FLOWING!

Great job Rambling Reader.

I would settle for a Kickin' Bowl of Chili myself for a cold, snowy evening!

Hey Cody,

Recovering Southern Baptist here as well!

YIKES!

I still believe in a higher power, but I believe that man is the fault.

If Jesus were to walk into Rick Warren's, or any other church today, he wouldn't be received as he would most likely embody the very characteristics they don't embrace!

Robin,

I need to read your books. I'm thrilled that you have such a facination with the struggle of "divergent" paths between religion and homosexuality.

I read Mel White's Stranger at the Gate several years ago and had some pretty serious anger develop while reading. Only later did I realize how deeply it affected me.

I appreciate your having the courage to address these issues and I need to check out your writings!

:o)

I now live in Cincinnati, Ohio and Atlanta a step or two before here. In Atlanta, there were entire bookstores serving the GLBT community. Here we may have a shelf or less, depending on the stores you frequent. It is obvious to me, which stores have employees/managers who are gay, they just have a better selection.

We are discriminated against in terms of selection, but it's a business, and if there were more demand, the stores would respond with a better supply.

It's not necessarily easy for folks to be OUT here. I moved here so that does make it a little less intimidating.

Just my ramblings!
