Salad Days
'I Do - an anthology in support
of marriage equality' (MLR Press)This
anthology has been put together in
support of the Lambda Legal Fund, in aid
of the fight against Proposition 8
outlawing same-sex civil partnerships in
California. It includes a wealth of short
stories by well-known authors such as
Alex Beecroft, Erastes, Sharon Maria
Bidwell, Marquesate and many, many more.
The
anthology includes Salad Days, a
fun 'kitchen sink' romp by Fiona Glass
involving two men and a fennel bulb.
"Tim
had finished the carrots. He searched
around for something else to keep his
hands busy and found he'd picked up the
fennel again. Holding it firmly this time
he began to slice into its bulbous flesh,
imagining it was Ed's smoothly handsome
face. Him, jealous?"
See
the dedicated 'I
Do' website for more information
on all the stories and authors included
in the anthology.
"From
sweet to scorching, fairy tale to
historical to contemporary, male/male and
female/female love stories, I Do!
Is the best collection of same sex love
stories I’ve come across in a
while."

"My
overall impression...: this is a
seriously good anthology that belongs in
the collection of anyone who values
literary gay and lesbian fiction."

"The
stories inside it are very different,
most of the authors I know, and some
confirmed my good opinion on them and
some surprised me, but always in a good
way."
Elisa Rolle
"And
what a collection! There's surely
something here for every taste: man on
man and woman on woman; fantasy and funny
and sizzling and sweet. "
Victor J Banis
"Never
has support for a good cause been more
delicious, more delectable than in this
generous helping of life — and love
— affirming stories."
Josh Lanyon
And
a review of Salad Days itself:
"Such
a realistic portrait of a relationship
after the new has worn off, but before
the deep seated trust has established
itself. This a quickie, but a great study
in how even simple things can have a much
greater meaning."
