David Gerrold was probably the first gay scifi writer to put homosexuality into his stories in the 1970s (”The Man Who Folded Himself” and a Star Trek script about a gay couple refused by Roddenberry). Fine. But to turn scifi into a militant gay pride parade? Almost no one wants to read someone else’s rant. No wonder pub house written scifi is ossifying as self-published books explode. The Science Fiction Book Club — one of the pillars of my teen years — has been reduced to irrelevance.

This BS would have made good science fiction back in the 50’s.
