<<Since I've contended with previous complaints
about lesbian mysteries I expect to hear about hers. I'm taking Calendar
Girl to read, but it may be awhile before I get to it.>>

What do people complain about? That the author wrote a mystery with
lesbians in it? Or that the book was not properly marked as being
"different"? I am curious about this.

I vividly recall a showing of the restored silent film "Birth of a
Nation", during which a sweet old lady was heard shouting out loud :
"Well, I never thought I was going to be shown a RACIST movie. It's a
disgrace!!". In that case, a warning definitely would have helped her.
She obviously had no idea of the content of this famous film.
