     Hey there folks.  For starters this post is in no way intended to impugn the character of Mr. Naylor and I don't care if you think his work is all the same, hackneyed or whatever.

    I am a gay guy, long time fan/consumer of furry pronz and also a fan of the work of Jay Naylor specifically, among a few others.  I enjoy his art in general, Fall of Little Red Riding Hood & Huckleberry Ann series are favorites, Haukaiu The Hero is shaping up to be a good story too.  Even given that his catalog seems to consist of  primarily str8 stuff, that's still cool with me because it has nicely drawn male characters. 

     My issue: the only non-herm gay characters I've ever seen in his work (Huckleberry Ann, Chapter 3, the fox couple) were portrayed as pedophiles and this bothers me a bit. Of possibly less significance was the former boyfriend character in the Fall of Little Red Riding Hood series, where he is being taken by male wolves was described as "deviancy" in the last chapter, but whatever, this can probably be just a simple matter of culturally appropriate lingo of the time period he was portraying.

     So I was wondering: Do any of you know him and is he a homobigot? I realize this is all just fantasy anyway but  I would not feel comfortable supporting him and buying access to anything else in his catalog if this is the case.

Adding in: If he is, in fact a homophobe then yes, his character deserves impugning and he does not deserve my money, I can just as easily find his work elsewhere for free.  The above questions were asked because I don't know him and I've not viewed the complete body of his work so it is possible that I am taking these things out of context.

He's controversial in a number of ways.. that's what you get when you find yourself with an obviously very right-leaning artist that likes to inject his art and comics with his own personal opinions.  He portrays blacks as hyenas solely from what I've noticed, and some jokes involving them are in bad taste and yet it's never really offended me.. but I am not black.  I can see how it might, in fact, be offensive to others.

And yeah, I didn't realize the above homophobia, but all thing considered, it doesn't surprise me.  He's a gun-toting incestuous redneck; so what if he can draw well.  The man behind the pen is a fuckface.

No, we are not discussing him again here.
