Dear Lambdafail wangstbitches:
I'm gonna break this down for you, because you are giving non-gay-identifying folks who write gay characters a bad fucking name.
The Lambda Awards (stay with me now, folks) are awards for fiction with LGBTQ characters BY AUTHORS WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ.
Do you identify as LGBTQ? No? THEN THIS COOKIE IS NOT FOR YOU. STFU AND GO FIND A DIFFERENT COOKIE!!! THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM OUT THERE.
Thus spake a woman who is pretty damned white, writes fiction with gay buttsecks*, and yet manages not to cry into her cheerios when informed that some awards are not for her.
If I started quoting specific fails, I'd be here all day, but this particular quote deserves ten thousand extra 'YOU THINK, SHERLOCK?' points:
If the CSK were in charge, male writers wouldn't be able to comment on what it's like to be a woman. The CSK is saying that you cannot understand what it is to be black in America unless you are black.
YES. THAT IS THE CASE. CRY MOAR.
No one is censoring you. No one is telling you you can't write whatever the fuck you want. But YOU ARE NOT YOUR CHARACTERS. You can't genuinely comment on what it's like to BE THEM. Just about what happens to them and how they react in the course of the story. No amount of good writing, common sense, appropriate research, etc will ever make you - straight white cis women (mostly) who are crying into your cheerios over this - LGBTQ. Or Black. Or whatever marginalized group you think you deserve a membership pass to because 'You've been such a good ally!!!'
Cry me a fucking river, build me a fucking bridge, and get the fuck over it. I'm gonna be over here playing the worlds saddest song on the worlds tiniest violin for you.
*I don't think I deserve a medal of any kind for doing this. I am not special or avant-garde or 'giving voice' to anyone. My writings are not noble. I write textporn. Because I think it's hot. Sometimes others agree. /fucking story.
