Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I was in a meeting at work recently where they were talking about LGBTQ services. I spent the rest of the meeting trying to work out what the fuck the Q stood for. It's Queer apparently, for people that haven't made their mind up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14030 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Tends to cover both "Queer" and "Questioning" I think. Be thankful they didn't rock up with QUILTBAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Quizzical? I'm all for gay rights, but special rights for people who might decide they were straight all along is pushing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Quizzical? I'm all for gay rights, but special rights for people who might decide they were straight all along is pushing it Why? ETA: No one's asking for special rights , people are asking not to be discriminated against for who they are (or aren't?).

Meenzer 14030 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I see Milo's book sold 152 copies in the UK. Anyone here going to own up to having bought it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I saw that story I didn't even know he'd released it, which is remarkable because the Guardian hasn't shut up about him for months. If they've pulled the data together through Nielsen, then the sales information will be about right. Nielsen isn't the be all and end all, but it does at least give us an insight into general purchasing trends. Milo seems to be making the case that the rest are tied up in the wholesalers, which is potentially the case as those guys can be incredibly slow. To be honest, I think it would have done far better with a publisher behind it. Damning indictment of society it may be, but plenty of people would have bought it if any news about it or any proper publishing campaign had been put into place. Kind of encouraging for publishers though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed he's suing his original publisher for $10m though, so he'll probably still get a good payoff out of all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's suing them for breach of contract and the notion that had they stood by the contract, the book would have done far better.
