[edit] Gay SF themes

[edit] Single-gender and hermaphroditic worlds

Many authors have used the freedoms offered by science fictional settings and plot devices to explore themes which, while not strictly gay, are closely related. A prime example is the Wraeththu (1987-89) trilogy by Storm Constantine, in which much of the male portion of the human race is converted to a new species of physiologically hermaphroditic post-humans. Other examples of alternative but not strictly gay sexuality in science fiction include Theodore Sturgeon's Venus Plus X and Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness.
