And they call me a homophobe

[fpb]

I have a strong and increasing objection to using homosexual characters as designated victims in fiction. I am not likely to write many more gay characters than I have, but you can bet your lives that if I do, the said characters are going to live to ninety-five in perfectly good health, thank you.

My dear man, while you have every reason to be proud of your work, you do not make a tendency. I will admit that your rather unnecessary epilogue was the straw that broke the camel's back, but I have been getting honked off about this sort of thing for a long time. Look around in fanfic. Tell me how many gay characters die young.
