Make Your Characters Straight - or You're Not Published

From TYT Youtube -> Authors Sherwood Smith and Rachel Manija Brown are claiming that editors and publishers told them to edit out gay characters and storylines from their books.

They wouldn't change their characters--they won't be published.

There are plenty of books that I've read where the characters seem to be bisexual and constantly flirt with the idea, especially female characters. I find it to be rather annoying when it comes up so often in the books that it overshadows the story or in some cases becomes the story.

Try reading Laurel K. Hamilton, that author went off the deep end with her character Anita Blake, around book 9 or 10, she just stops with the teasing and has her sleeping with everything and everyone. It got really tedious reading through the book or two following 10, so I stopped reading the series. Plus the books just kept getting shorter and shorter when I saw her new books released. They went from 250-400 pages to about 150 and complaints full of the sex in the book taking up too much of the content.

These guys could probably find another place to publish. I mean after all Laurel K Hamilton delves into beastiality, criticizing her readers for being prudes when they get tired of story turning into her weird sex imaginings.
