Thank you!
I haven't read it, but I quite agree from browsing - it's not for him, and I don't really care that he doesn't like it, beyond being disappointed in him. Those I am always worried about the subtleties of the power balance between fans and creators and gay culture etc. - I'm more comfortable when the guy making faces at us is *that* privileged, and, as he points out time and again, straight. So good for him, and - I don't very much care. I'm disappointed that he would be this ignorant and bigoted (and outspoken about it without learning the topic) and against people of disempowered groups, who are generally devalued, and who are lso his fans. Just - no. Many levels of no. He lost a lot of respect that I did have for him. But I don't really care.

Of course, had this been my fandom, one of my boys, I would have been *devastated*, and it probably would have ruined a piece of fandom for me - the way Jensen' remarks last year have. So I totally get people who are deeply hurt by this, this really sucks .
