Why doesn't the Downs allow slash? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Why is homosexuality gross? You could say that Legolas romances are intentional, gross misrepresentations of the character. Say someone wrote a slash piece free of sensuality and sexuality; why would that be banned? Slash does not shock any more than het romances do; most are neither better or worse written than the majority of het romances. I don't enjoy most of the romance stories I have read, but the Downs appear to be discriminating against slash.
