" (pg 165) Even as Dana tries to push Kincaid in to saying that she believes that gay marriage should be banned, Kincaid cannot bring herself to support her though she knows doing so may very well risk their opportunity to catch Dana in a compromising position. At point Kincaid says, "I wanted to argue right there that I didn't think homosexuality was a "choice" for all people, nor did I believe there should be laws about who people loved.
I think that it is great that homophobia was addressed in this book. We are told repeatedly that Dana is not only racist, she is rabidly homophobic. An incubus named Bastien comes to town with the idea to seduce Dana, the leader of a local fundi Christian group. The book does have a saving grace however. I would understand if the book was set in a half a horse town in Iowa but this is not even remotely reasonable for a large urban center. In a town like Seattle this is absolutely ridiculous. Once again there are not GLBT characters in this book.
