Provocative Science Fiction
I accept that my creative works—and bara in general—will not appeal to a “mass audience” in the gay world. Some gay men have said that they especially like how I depict men so realistically. Others not so much. I accept that gay men who prefer feminized men and the many related affectations and behaviors of […]

Stop Living a Lie
My works as storyteller and illustrator Madeira Desouza began with a dawning light during what was a very dark time for me.

Why is Gay Science Fiction for Men so Unusual?
Let me start by admitting how impressed I am with Oliver’s Keane’s commentary https://medium.com/geek-empire-1/e750602da27a on this subject.

Challenges for a Gay Science Fiction Author
From the very start, as a gay male author, I accepted that I would invite challenges by writing science fiction for gay men.

Male Characters in Gay Science Fiction
You can search online and easily find commentaries about the lack of gay male characters in science fiction. I have tremendous respect for Ronald D.
