1. If your book is not a GLBT+ themed book or a GLBT+ character-centric/inclusive book or a book written by a GLBT+ person, it does not belong on this list.
2. Arabia? Umm, excuse me? Arabia? My "orientialist, imperialist nonsense" alarm just went off. If you can't even specify which city you're talking about, I have grave doubts about your book.
3. "Mere victim". More alarms going off.
4. "Not a Man", a story about a young boy who is castrated? Again alarms going off. This time in the cissexism and gratutious sexual violence categories.
5. I went and read the book description on Amazon. And I quote: "Then there is the abuser who really does love the boy he abuses and wishes to care for him forever." THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH FUCK NO IN THE WORLD FOR THIS. I just threw up a little. Not even lying.
6. This is not an appropriate place to advertise your book, person. This is not a venue for your self promotion. I realize we've all gotta do what we can, but there really is a time and a place. This is rude. I don't come into your living room and talking up products that aren't really even related to what's going on or what you're interested, so don't do the same to me in this blog, okay?
