Lightspeed was founded over the core idea that all science fiction is true research fiction and that technology fiction is vast. It is inclusive. Technology fiction is about people, and queer people, regardless of how they recognize, are a big part of that. They always have been. They’re just sometimes harder to see. Therefore, in the passions of visibility, Queers Destroy Research Fiction! shows just how wide the spectral range of sexuality and gender identification can really end up being.This special issue features original science fiction short stories from John Chu, Kate M. Galey, Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, Chaz Brenchley, Felicia Davin, Rose Lemberg, Jessica Yang, K. M. Szpara, Amal El-Mohtar, Tim Susman, and Susan Jane Bigelow.
