If a gay guy was ejected for being into S&M, people would be screaming.

It's surprising that anybody cares at this point. "50 Shades Darker" just finished its run. SF has had Bondage a Go Go for over 20 years now.

The Gor thing is a joke at this late date. It's mostly something people do in Second Life now. It was cool in maybe 1975, when Norman's first books were out. He's still writing those books, and they sell to women as romances.

(An amusing note on political correctness: the State Department has some documents on line for their staff returning to the US and re-integrating into American society. One of the items covered is how political correctness has changed in the last few years. If you've been working in Ankara or Kuala Lumpur for the last few years, you may have missed the whole gay marriage thing.)
