Don't get mad. Write porn.

So. starbrow had a great idea in reaction to recent unpleasantness (which was touched off by another problem, it turns out): "I want to write a loving, sensual, gay romance story and tell him he inspired it." (The dude has deleted the entry in question and is frantically backpedaling, and seems to be claiming that he's changing his mind on certain points, but I think I'll just not engage with the crazy.)

What: a pan-fandom slash ficathon, with sex-positive, LBGTQ(etc)-positive, kink-positive, loving fic. (Het is fine as long as it's kinky and not with people who are lesbians in canon. [Edit: Het with canon gay men probably not such a great idea either. [Addendum to the edit: JDN/Cammie is always allowable.]]) Bonus points for femslash and people who get marginalized by Hollywood.
Why: action is better than wheel-spinning rage
Who: anyone who got annoyed/outraged by that and has a bit of time and feels like writing
When: Now.
Where: um, there might be a comm or comms coming. But, you know. On the internet.

Telling SyFy where they can shove their plot point of a bodyswap fic where someone uses the lesbian's body to fuck a man (I wish I were kidding) might also be in order.

Since it still matters here and now where the show is being created and broadcast, I would like to have something approaching proportional, positive representation, of not just people (which, given the cast size, the show may do), but also for the sex we are having (or not having).

A married lesbian whose wife is off Way Beyond Somewhere is coming off as a very slick way to wiggle out of having to portray even fade-to-black lesbian sex. I am hoping that she at least gets flashback sex with her wife, but I am not expecting it.

Given that the Stargate series is not in the habit of showing people having sex AT ALL, I'm perfectly happy with what they seem to be planning.

But the issue I was discussing was the body swap brouhaha, and I just can't see what the fuss is about. Sorry.

Of course, I don't actually grok hetero OR homosexuality, so I sometimes don't understand why people get all fussy about sexuality at all. It does occasionally annoy me to hang out with a group of homosexuals and feel insulted by the clearly negative term "breeder" (which was used, but supposedly "welcoming" in the open letter referred to) because let's face it, *somebody* has to reproduce. I honestly have felt more often ostracized among gay folks (despite the fact that the acronym often bandied about includes bisexual, it's been my personal experience that gay folks often think "bisexual" is just another word for "indecisive"...though I admit that personal experience is not statistically significant) than I have among heterosexuals who know I'm bi.
