Del replies:
No I haven't. In fact, I've repeatedly said 
that a big part of my problem is that she 
FAILED to write DD as gay in the books.

That's the way I feel about Susan's posts.

OK, so in other words, you don't have any practical 
answer. You don't like the way it is, you don't think 
people should be the way they are, but you have no 
serious alternative to offer them. Well, you know what?
That's exactly how most people who have a problem with
homosexuality feel too. Welcome in their shoes.

And if they are bigots, then so are you, since you 
refuse to let people act according to their conscience, 
even while failing to offer them a viable alternative.
