I'm guessing you've seen this on your flist already, but if you haven't - go search for "homosexuality" on Amazon.com and see what they've just done to LGBT books, searches and sales rankings.

I wouldn't normally cry wolf, but the site of that search page makes me so sick that I'm going to call delete-my-Amazon-account instead.

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
