Pioneering Queer SF/F

In the introduction to Far Out: Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy, which we'll begin discussing tonight, editor Paula Guran generously cites several anthologies that helped pave the way for hers. Alas, most of them are out of print (but available from used book dealers), but I couldn't resist sharing the, um, striking cover of the first book on her list: Kindred Spirits: An Anthology of Gay and Lesbian Science Fiction Stories, edited by Jeffrey M. Elliot (Alyson Publications, 1984).
