Heh. Heh. Heh.
Critters is a online writing workshop that has a couple of newsgroups attached.

Edward Knight is the editor of a magazine called Amazing Journeys.

Ed Knight posts to the Critters newsgroup asking for submissions for the next issue.

Some people comment on the magazine guidelines and pay-rates and suchlike. (the magazine only takes North American writers and 'will never publish gay or lesbian work, so don't bother.') Wank ensues.

It bubbles over here, here, and in a couple of livejournal posts.

I view it like this, if the magazine was fifty years old would your story be acceptable? Fifty years ago you didn't read about openly homosexual people. There were plenty of them and some characters in fiction were that way, but it wasn't ever openly and obviously discussed.

Obviously his magazine operates a don't ask, don't tell policy.
