Since no one else has written this up yet:
guardian_writer, in a now-locked post, stated that even though she writes slash, she is against gay marriage and doesn't believe in homosexuality.
bnfshavemorefun (wayfairer on LJ) responded at length in her own journal, stating quite eloquently why she finds guardian_writer's position offensive and hypocritical.
Most of the many responses to Aja's post are positive, but there's definitely wank to be found:
Seelightnote_blend compare homosexuality to pedophilia, wax poetic about the grand 12,000-year tradition of heterosexual marriage, and claim that Aja stating her own opinion in her own livejournal proves she's against free speech! The mean-spirited and completely irrevelant jab at Aja's fiction is just icing.
Seedeathkiss explain that accepting two men kissing is not the same as letting them pervert the holy tradition of matrimony!
Seeceresi claim that Aja should not name the person she's responding to, because Aja is a famous person and other people in fandom might think less of guardian_writer because Aja disagrees with her (this one's not so much wanky as baffling - how exactly is Aja responsible that people might think less of someone for something they themselves publicly said?)
And then see guardian_writer whine completely illogically in her own LJ implying that her First Amendment rights have been violated:

Well.
I never thought I’d get wanked for my opinion. That’s nice to know that Amendments only apply when they agree with your means. Beyond that I can’t say anything that won’t be considered wanky or whatever. Yes I’m upset, no I’m not crying and I don’t think that the response I’m getting is merited. And I’ve never wanked one single person here for their beliefs. I’ve stayed silent, against my own judgments. That being said...
I’ve always seen it as, if you are opinionated enough to state your opinion on the net, no one else is going to change your mind, so why even bother with debates for the most part...its like beating your head into brick wall.
I’m taking a break for a while until this blows over. I’m sorry that I’ve offended people, that was never my intention. I still respect your opinions even though it feels like you do not respect mine.
