Since the cancellation of the issue was discussed on the list, I pass
on the following from a list for gay librarians:
From today's Chronicle of Higher Ed.
A disputed volume on homosexuality in the classical world will be
published after all, Haworth Press announced on Tuesday, and the
controversial essay that almost sank the book will also be published,
but in a different venue.
Late last month, the press announced the cancellation of Same-Sex
Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in the Classical Tradition
of the West, an edited volume that had been scheduled for publication
in November. (It was to have been published simultaneously as a special
issue of The Journal of Homosexuality, which is also published by
Haworth.) The press scratched the book after conservative activists
objected to one of its 15 essays, which they saw as a defense of
pederasty in present-day society.
