Literary Award Wank
Lambda Literary Foundation: We're changing our submission criteria. From now on our GLBT literary award will only be given to self-identified GLBT authors.

Alan Chin: My honest opinion? The Lambda Foundation is run by and for a bunch of old queens in NYC who'd like to keep it a private party.

Dear Author: First of all, is LLF going to require a dick check (or the female equivalent)? How are they going to do that? How are they going to prove, for example, that Josh Lanyon is a man and/or how is he going to prove it?

Teddy Pig: What this new wording says to me is gay people can’t “cut it” in the “real literary world” because I guess their gayness permeates their writing so Lambda Literary’s main purpose now is to mindlessly cheer lead heterophobia so us poor unappreciated gay folks can fight the system or whatever.

Fiona Glass: Where does this end? Should black authors only be able to write about black issues? Should women only write about other women, and children about children?

Erastes: The foundations statement HAS BEEN CHANGED. That is my point - they've changed the rules because het women are writing better books than gay men (their words, not mine) and are WINNING the awards.

Erastes: What this seems like, and what I wasn’t afraid of asking them about in my letter, is crony-ism.

Erastes: I don't understand what is privileged or entitled about me.

c_smith_author: Until this policy is removed, I am taking the Lambda Literary Foundation as I seriously as I take the Westboro Baptist Church. i.e. not at all.

elisa_rolle: I've created a shiny new award!

kiernankelly: Yeah, they celebrate straight allies. So long as we don't drink from their water fountains.

emmyjag: Lambda Literary Awards: Breeders need not apply.

I came back in search of the funny to see me through pig flu! And 'lo, all the aggression I knew and loved it still here, but all the posts had become wankity_wank material, and I were sore afraid.

PS: Your scathing needs work. "How sad for you" should be accompanied by a picture of a tiny violin, or a small china doll shedding exquisite emo tears. Not that I want to tell you how to do your job, but I'd hoped the interim staff would at least maintain the high standards of dissing that gave us the Tiniest Armadillo. FOR SHAME.
