  1. Yeah, the whole problem with this is that there are a large variety of people (here, in the world at large, pretty much anywhere) who get quite displeased when same-sex love is so much as mentioned. And then when it's actually discussed in earnest (blog entry, love story, etc.) then things often just get nasty. Really, -really- nasty sometimes. As we unfortunately know from experience.

     

    Which is why it's not allowed at the moment in the Library, because, as our dear LMK put it, we don't have enough faith in humanity to think that hurtful, bashing statements -wouldn't- be flung around if gay ship stories were posted. And that's just putting it mildly. It's a one of those "seriously... we don't want this to happen again, and we know it would given the opportunity" things.

     

    However, I do encourage lobbying the admins about it if you feel strongly enough. :D It would be nice if it were allowed, I think; but right now the course of caution has been opted for. Which only makes sense.

     

    Agreed. The only thing is, I think the staff should've given an adequate reason for the ban. Not listing a reason and just saying the admins don't want people to enter "that sort of story." I think the staff could've made it more clear. I do not believe the staff are prejudiced in the least, but when no clear reason is given, people might be drawn to a different conclusion about the rule.
