This satisfying anthology of science fiction with GLTBQ characters has some great stories. “On Vacation” by Ralph A. Sperry is about a couple who’ve been together for hundreds of years going on vacation in Nantucket. They share a house with a Dad and his young son, all are delighted with the arrangement. “A Real Girl” by Shariann Lewitt is about a robot who trades in her immortality to become human. “State of Nature,” by Nancy Kress is about an enclave where rich people live to be safe while the rest of the country has descended into lawlessness. “The Flying Triangle” by Allen Steele is about three gay spacers who band together to start a company salvaging space junk, only to come across what they think is a dead weather satellite, but is actually an illegal thermonuclear device-- operated by the US. “Silent Passion” by Kathleen O’Malley is about two human lovers, one deaf, one hearing who are studying angelic / bird- like aliens and come to admire their social structure. Very special. ( )
