I'm a little surprised about the complaint about the sexual content
of the Delaney novel.  I read the book a couple of weeks ago so the
general impression that it gave is still fresh in my mind.  Sexual
desire is an important part of the book but sex acts themselves are
not, so unless the original poster's objection is to the very idea
or mention of homosexuality, I don't understand what the complaint
is.  I understand that the original posting was about the general
idea of labeling but I don't understand how this particular book
provoked it.
Are there others who have read the book and can comment on their
reactions to the sexual action vs. the sexual orientation?
