Wow. thanks so much. I have just plowed through yet MORE of the "I don't write or read slash/homosexuality/incest." [the three are always equated] followed by "I don't think Lewis would be at all pleased or Lewis would be rolling in his grave" which is then followed by "Lewis was a Christian and these are Christian children's books," etc. The smug certitude of a segment of this fandom is really breathtaking when one considers that Lewis knew of the conduct, knew men who engaged in it, corresponded and wrote on the subject and that his very dearest friend was gay. He was obviously a very complex man.

The fact of his relationship with Greeves is so .. well, very much in keeping with the spirit that I see in the books I almost want to weep. While in some parts, Aslan is Not A Nice Deity, in other places there is such enormous compassion and tolerance. And now google fu leads me to this, Lewis and Homosexuality.

Thanks so much for the contribution!
