		SF and Fantasy Alternate Sexuality Listing

(All comments and critique welcome.  My mail ate a whole bunch of stuff
sent to me, so if something you recommended isn't here, that's almost
certainly why.  I'd appreciate any comments on the books listed here, any
additional books by these authors, regardless of sexual content, and
anything you may have forgotten or assumed somebody else would recommend
:-).  In addition, I'm also looking for more non-positive renditions of
alternate sexuality in fantasy...feel free to send me SF too and I'll add
it to the list even though I may not use it for my paper.  Many, many
thanks...I'm sorry I can't thank you all personally.  I'll keep posting
updated lists every couple of weeks.)
