Hi Sophia, I appreciate you making me aware of your reaction. My question for you would be would you have blinked an eye had the object of her affection been a boy? And if so, why not? Why is it okay to represent heterosexual attraction and not same sex attraction? Same sex attraction is a reality for many people. Why should entertainment not reflect that? The fact is, many people close to me are gay. I am not homophobic. It would be a betrayal on my part not to reflect their reality in my work. If it costs me readers, that is a price I am more than willing to pay. I appreciate you sharing your perspective with me, and I hope you consider my point of view.
