There are many things on a person's mind. A few of these things, a person can no longer openly speak about...never mind putting them to print. (That includes things in plain English.) One of those things -- homosexuality! Nuff said!
Writing, researching, and investigating things for my book projects (The Sasquatch -- and also Numbering The Human Race) -- I found some very interesting things, not relating so much to the writing itself. But because of my research, I would find information that is threatening our freedom of speech, as well, what we can write about, and also our actions monitored. And in my travels of investigation, there was even a lawyer that confessed -- that even if he didn't win cases like these in Canada's Courts...he could tie up an individual or group for so long, that things could be dragged out for years. (Exhausting your credibility as well your finances.) Concerning these sorts of things, I have already been contacted by more than one writer/speaker on this issue -- they are going thru the process at the moment. (I (we) were warned.)
Proving this one step further, while pursuing my novel, which is over 307,000 words at the moment -- I would be told by both Publishers & Writers...that I had better take a serious look at reviewing the entire project. This due to others out on the world, that might consider the work offensive, racist, unpatriotic, among other things. (Folks -- it isn't about the truth anymore!) We (you) are limited to what you can say or do. Concerning my novel manuscript, I have just completed reviewing it from cover to cover...for the eighth time. When you now speak out, there are those watching. That fact again, was proven to me in writing, purely by accident, when one of my co-workers was reprimanded for his off-duty behavior. (All I can say, is that it was minor, really.) But through work, the paperwork was supplied by inside sources -- a copy put in my hands. It would seem, that our employer is in control of our lives 24-7? So much so -- I had to alter bits-and-pieces of the novel material, to keep the hounds from the door. (Just a precaution.) And folks -- I'm not kidding or exaggerating one bit. We are in some very uncertain times. I know for a fact, that if the novel makes the market, I will be placed on a special list. Up to this point, I do appreciate everyone that has educated me on these issues. Either purposely or by accident.
Words of warning: If you want to seriously voice your true opinion on a subject...like homosexuality-against it? (And not possibly end up in court, or before some commission.) Write anonymously in print to your target selection, and also send it from another populated center.
On these things I am dead serious!!
