I "grew" up as romances grew up, so this is funny and very, very true for a long time.<BR/><BR/>Of course, now that I have a preference for fur and fang, it's even funnier.Judy H https://www.blogger.com/profile/13685822567236742303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-42546452428082949242008-05-24T18:18:00.000-04:002008-05-24T18:18:00.000-04:00That was hilarious!

Lesbian or Gay Secondary Characters: Acceptable lesbian or gay characters with whom your heroine is very distantly acquainted with must be portrayed as interesting boutique owners, quirky co-workers, or single next-door neighbors who are always bringing her the gourmet food they cook too much of. The lesbian or gay character should constantly joke about his/her sexual orientation but must never actually be seen in the presence of their bedpal of the moment. Nor should any relationship your lesbian or gay characters have be regarded as emotionally valid, long-lasting, loving, tender, etc. The heroine herself will never ever ever even think about having sex with another woman."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-60325790138152978622008-05-22T10:25:00.000-04:002008-05-22T10:25:00.000-04:00Obviously I didn't get the memo. *ggg*Obviously I didn't get the memo. *ggg*Charlene Tegliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483186891214783397noreply@blogger.com
