Authors have been such a Great Asset in reaching out & helping people experience & accept GLBTQ rights with your Wonderfully Romantic, Loving, Emotional Writing…& of course Erotic & Sensual ;) ...making it more likely for them to be accepting, understanding & comfortable with homosexuality in real life...We Could Hope, Right??? <br /><br />I would very much appreciate the opportunity to be considered in your very generous giveaway of one m/m book of our choice from All Romance eBooks, which if by chance if I am lucky enough to win, I do have an account with them. Thank You.<br /><br />Thank You Again for participating in the Hop Against Homophobia. <br /><br />Take Care & Wishing you All the Best ,<br />PaParanormalFan Renee <br />paranormalromancefan at yahoo dot comParanormalRomanceFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356074067768569271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401800529291605034.post-26722439267764353942012-05-21T03:56:26.595+02:002012-05-21T03:56:26.595+02:00Thanks for participating!!

I live in Iceland and things are very progressive here, though (unfortunately) there is still some homophobia, but the homophobes are a minority group here.<br /><br />I agree that some GLBTQ people need therapy...because of the homophobic treatment they've gone through! That would be the only reason they'd need therapy because of their sexuality. It's a good thing that homoPHOBIA is curable - though in some cases it isn't :/<br /><br />Er, yeah, I'd like to be entered ^.^<br /><br />Erica<br />eripike at gmail dot comErica Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410036734790965799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401800529291605034.post-18290440055315479592012-05-20T13:44:40.941+02:002012-05-20T13:44:40.941+02:00That would be great, Crissy.
