Oh, absolutely! In the real world. My experience with the world of children's/teens' fiction though? Is that dichotomy is king. More's the pity.

ah, good point. when i was a kid, NO ONE in fiction was gay, so there has been some progress. of course, there's still a long way to go -- witness the gasps from the audience that greeted JKR's words. i look for the day when this wouldn't shock anyone at all...

Definite progress. There was Annie on my Mind when I was young. That was pretty much it. Every year it gets a little better.

Oh, there was also the Green and Blue Riders in Anne McCaffrey's Pern books. That was something :)

But oh yes, I do hope that I live to see the day where it's neither here nor there.
