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.

You'd think. I also find a lot of depictions of gay characters unlikely, but then, what do I know? I only cohabited with three or four gay couples over a period of fourteen years, after all, not to mention gaining considerable knowledge of lesbian and gay comix during nine years as a reviewer of underground and independent comics.
