Hi everybody - is it just me? Tonight I've got two of lots of some messages and
none of others - makes reading a thread ... interesting! Next challenge - will
this e-mail make it through what ever barrier is enshrouding either my computer
or e-groups
But- only got one of the responses to the wizard pictures but I like the theory
that the picture reflects the state of mind of the person at the time it is
taken. Good example of Sirus and Harry.
Stephanie, just because they are books for children doesn't mean that they
should not reflect the diversity of human life. After all there are going to be
little gay boys and dykey girls reading as well. It makes the same sense to
exclude them as it does to exclude children with disabilities or of a certain
religious or racial group. After all most kids books are not going to get into
the nitty gritty of living with cystic fibrosis or other conditions - doesn't
mean those kids can't/shouldn't be reflected in books, same as the strange c
hristian traditions - like eating the body of your dead god* - you might not
want to go into the detail of what this means - but it doesn't mean it can just
be pretended away
And I think Remus and Sirus belong together. I'm convinced by grimslasher's
stories (on ff.net - A camping story and Love in Ruins) I love A Sirus Affair
too but, just not the same. I hope they will prove a very loving role model
couple for George in years to come.

*I do know this is usually seen as a metaphor and I'm trying to make a point
about where people stand rather then be offensive - please take it in that
sprit.
