Songmaster...the book where the gay character having an orgasm makes him permanently impotent and he kills himself? Yep, definitely an ally.

It's in his Homecoming series. It's like a sci fi Book of Morman.
Edit: Shit I just remembered he also does it with Anton in the Shadow series too which is the one they'd have been talking about.

I've read almost everything thing he's written. He has a gay character that he has marry a woman and have kids because the "good of the future" in his weird Mormon sci fi series. He has another man and women get married about of political obligation/a witches curse, but it's OK because they fall in love anyway. He literally wrote a series that is built upon justifying having literally all the children, because apparently being the seventh son of a seventh son is the most OP shit. If you can't see where his religion just fully bleeds of the page you aren't paying attention. And if we're being honest once he gets a bit into a series his solution to everything is to throw everything out the window and get weird with it(science always gets weirdly magical, and just very deus ex machina). And let's not forget his two book love letter into turning the US into an empire mirroring the shift from republic that Rome had. I can elaborate on specifics if you'd like, but even separate from that this is a man who has very vocally advocated against rights for a sizable chunk of the real world population.

They do. I was at this show tonight, and I bring vials of intramuscular naloxone with me in a case on my hip. Never had an issue. All the clubs in the city do in my experience (NOTO, TLA, The Ave, The Foundry, Union Transfer and The Fillmore all off the top of my head).
