Recently <a href="http://sparkymonster.dreamwidth.org/416697.html">he rewrote a very nasty, and hateful</a> version of Hamlet which revolves around the idea that gay = evil. <br /><br />But this is the internet and at least in my section of it, we don't hold with those kind of shenanigans from people who are (not to put too fine a point on it) howling bigoted douchemonkeys. <br /><br />The response, at least on Twitter, was the #buyabiggaynovelforscottcardday hashtag in which people from all over threw in their recommendation for queer/LGBT+ novels, books, even short stories and comics and graphic novels that would put any reader on the top of OSC's "Evil Queer" List. <br /><br />And being the person I am, I have tried to compile that list by following the hashtag. <br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://megwrites.dreamwidth.org/210641.html#cutid1">A very long, dubiously complete but completely alphabetized list of recommendations from the #buyabiggaynovelforscottcardday hashtag</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=megwrites&ditemid=210641" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
