I've been trying to figure something deep and meaningful to write for the Hop Against Homophobia and you know what? I'm not deep. So, I'll have to go with blunt honesty.
There has been some internet talk that this Hop was conceived as a marketing ploy. Was it? Don't know, don't care. What I know is this is something I wanted to support for no other reason than homophobia is stupid and it needs to go.
As I was struggling to decide what to write I happened upon this on Facebook...it really touched me.

I began to think about why some people might dislike anyone GLBT, and valid reasons to dislike another person.
Reasons not to like someone: because you have nothing in common, or they're jerks.
However, don't make your judgement based on their gender, or religion or color.
Don't base your judgement on the books you might see on this hop on the gender, or religion or color of the person writing it. Look at the blurbs, read the excerpts. If the plot doesn't appeal, move on. If the writing style isn't what you like, there are others that likely will.
I challenge everyone perusing the sites and blogs on this hop to pay no attention to the name of the author. Don't do to the hundreds of authors in this hop what is being done to all the people in this world who are not straight.
Don't buy my books because that was not my intention for joining this hop. My intention was to point out how wrong it is to base your judgement on another individual simply because of who they may love.
I will happily give to two people an ebook, the winners can pick anything off my backlist. I'll pick the winners next week. Simply comment below.
Enjoy your weekend and remember to do unto others as you'd like done to you.
