Gayns, this ntext, is "normal" the sense that is nventnal. It's a story element that you e jt as you would e, say, heterosexual romance—bee genre rears want genre pleasur, and this is one of the genre pleasur they gay romance Artifice is, though, also normal the sense that is normalizg. That is, mak clear jt how closely science fictn trop map onto, or even, arguably, borrow om, gay experience.

Woolfson isn't y about nnectg Dean's feelgs as an android wh Jeff's feelgs as a gay man a future world where most homosexual children are intified and aborted the womb. So over-obv, fact, that starts to creep out of the pag of Artifice, and to all that other science-fictn that supposedly isn't gay, Other android stori are, of urse, the first place to look, om the tense relatnship between Frankenste and his unnatural, tormented, lovels monster/child/other self; to Bla Runner's virtually normal replints clutchg the photos of their half-fotten (tranged?

Le Gu ed sci-fi as a way to image different sexual mor and possibili, and often those differenc were explicly, cidly thg about Delany and Le Gu, though, was that they didn't e gayns as a functn of genre. Rather, their work, gay material or them tend to work agast genre, or served as a sign that the thors were transcendg genre.

Sci-fi genre hacks didn't wre about gay brgs back to Woolfson, a genre wrer wh no discernible avant gar pretensns, and a fively discernible tert gay romance, not to mentn gay sex. It's jt a well-wrten, cleverly plotted actn-romance wh two likable, appealg leads who are fact that they're gay is what mak this a niche genre tle. The mastream isn't exactly terted gay protagonists s pulp genre product at the moment.

But readg Artifice, you n almost see that future which gayns sci-fi is neher disavowed, nor avante gar, but simply normal.
