Thank you for posting this, Roger. I have several friends who are authors of LGBT and gender speculative science fiction, but they don't follow trends in children's literature very much. I'll pass this along to them.
It amazes me how society can simultaneously take steps forward, while dragging it's feet in the dirt of the past.
Hey Roger - by any chance could you post Kathy Isaacs' excellent "building bridges" article on Horn Book so that we can link people to it? I think it is really pertinent to this discussion. signed, betty tisel who would rather be a person than a letter L G B T Q A
I've been the editor in chief of The Horn Book, Inc, since 1996; previously editor of The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books and a children's and young adult librarian. Received my M.A. in library science from the University of Chicago in 1982 and a B.A. from Pitzer College in 1978.
