At first I thought if two women had been in the same scene, there wouldn't have been any controversy over the image. Women, straight and gay, can fondly embrace without anyone necessarily thinking deep into it. But then I started to wonder if it really was the image that caused the problems. What if the problem might be the title of the book: "The Chelsea Boy's Book of Love," because there is a huge defense mechanism against pedophiles. You know, and I know, that two adult men engaged in a relationship are not pedophiles. But we need to realize that, although adults call themselves ridiculously girls and boys, the term "girl" and "boy" refer more commonly to a much younger group of people. Your book title wasn't: "The Chelsea Men's Book of Love." I don't know if that would have been allowed or not but I would have had less problems with it (not that my opinion matters...I'm just stating what my opinion is). For the record, I'd have the same problem with: "The Chelsea Girl's Book of Love." Boy and girl are terms that may refer to very young people, too young to engage in sex. And you can argue that love doesn't equal sex, and I would agree. But a lot of people would see the title of the book as including a sexual component, one that would include, perhaps, young children. Is it possible the book title triggered concern more than the illustration? It may be a marginal as a concern, but the moderators end up examinging things on a micro level because of the complaints they get over such concerns. Just a thought. I don't really know.
