'The Left Hand of Darkness' woke up this Southern-Baptist-raised kid to LGBT issues. She's been one of the most influential authors on the modern crop which some of you are disdaining because she's not of your generation.
If you're dismissive of her just because you never read her, then that's YOUR loss.
I don't agree with her on this speech, but that doesn't mean her work isn't or hasn't been important.
