Octavia E. Butler (1947-2006)<\/strong> – \u201cMs. Butler was black and a woman writing science fiction in a context in which black women weren’t supposed to write, and certainly not science fiction. There’s an image of sci fi as a genre of the white man, going out and exploring, conquering, the universe. She took these elements of striving for other futures and turned them to social justice. She took the alien other and confronted us, her readers, with the otherness in our experiences.\u201d –bitchmedia.org<\/a><\/p>\n

There is some contestation over whether or not she was out as a lesbian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

outing someone<\/strong> – \u201cDisclosing someone\u2019s sexual orientation or gender identity to others without permission (i.e. \u201cHe was outed at work\u201d.)\u201d-pflagatl.org<\/a><\/p>\n

openly gay<\/span><\/strong> \u201cdescribes people who self-identify as lesbian or gay<\/span> in their personal, public and\/or professional lives. Also openly lesbian, openly bisexual, openly transgender.\u201d –wearefamily.org<\/a><\/p>\n
