Thank you for your comments, Hollis. I have been looking forward to more exchange of ideas on this subject, but we seem as a group to be rather quiet now. Is this because of school-ending, etc. or does it reflect a lack of interest in or comfort with GLBT lit? I'm involved with schools only in a peripheral way these days, and I am wondering if school libraries, especially elementary school libraries and classrooms, are shying away from books with explicitly "gay" themes because of fear of community reaction. Won't it be nice when gay characters are included in stories without any special need for emphasis or explanation? Sally Derby
