I am curious what the SE forum crew think about handling controversial subjects. The recent blog series did an excellent job of providing a frame work for how and when to (or not to) use CONTENT like violence, swearing, and sex. I gained a lot and found I completely agreed with the authors of the articles.

Abuse, alcohol, pre- and extra- marital sex, lies, theft, and such are frequently handled in Christian fiction and literature.

But what about the more difficult themes? Topics like any or all of LGBTQA. Human rights. Human trafficking. Race relations. Other religions (Muslim, Hindu, etc).

It is rare to find these themes addressed in Christian literature outside the occasional blog post, and very nearly never in fiction except to contrast the evilness of a character’s lifestyle in one of those categories against the hero of the story.

I would sincerely love to hear thoughts on this. (And maybe spawn another blog series? =))

I would tag people, but I’m too new to know where to start. =)
