But it was still well before the time when same-sex relations were clearly accepted as something that should be legal, let alone accepted. Anyway, my main point is that it's the earliest example offered in Clarke's fiction. | |

| Feb 19, 2018 at 17:43 | comment | added | Steve | Accepted because although both answers are correct, this is the earliest example offered – and surprisingly early for LGBT characters to appear as protagonists. | |
