Well done, EPIC

[erastes]

 

I've been one of the first in line to criticise EPIC over the past few years, in particular with their apparent "corralling" of GLBT books - last year's categories were frankly a joke and I was pretty vocal about it, but it seems that this year they are thinking things through.  This year every single category - yes, even YA, and religious (hurrah) - is open equally to GLBT books.

According to Brenna (former President of EPIC)'s post here

There are, of COURSE, bigots who are attempting to queer the pitch (excuse the pun, perhaps that should be "straighten the pitch") but I don't think they will succeed. 

First in line to applaud.
