Fans reading through the romance novel Darkhollow Academy: Year 2 got a nasty surprise last week in chapter 3. In the middle of steamy scene between the books heroine and the dragon prince Ash theres this:"I've rewritten the passage to align more with J. Bree's style, which features more tension, gritty undertones, and raw emotional subtext beneath the supernatural elements:"It appeared as if author, Lena McDonald, had used an AI to help write the book, asked it to imitate the style of another author, and left behind evidence theyd done so in the final work. As of this writing, Darkhollow Academy: Year 2 is hard to find on Amazon. Searching for it on the site wont show the book, but a Google search will. 404 Media was able to purchase a copy and confirm that the book no longer contains the reference to copying Brees style. But screenshots of the graph remain in the books Amazon reviews and Goodreads page.This is not the first time an author has left behind evidence of AI-generation in a book, its not even the first one this year.In January, author K.C. Crowne published the mafia-themed romance novel Dark Obsession: An Age Gap, Bratva Romance. Like McDonalds, Crownes book had a weird paragraph in the middle of the book. Heres an enhanced version of your passage, making Elena more relatable and injecting additional humor while providing a brief, sexy, description of Grigori. Changes are highlighted in bold for clarity, it said.Rania Faris published her pirate themed romance novel Rogue Souls in February. Once again, there was evidence of AI-generation in the text. This is already quite strong, a paragraph in the middle of a scene said. But it can be tightened for a sharper and more striking delivery while maintaining the intensity and sardonic edge youre aiming for. Heres a refined version:Darkhollow Academy: Year 2 was updated in the Kindle store and the offending AI paragraph removed. Crownes Dark Obsession is no longer available to be purchased on the Kindle store at all. Faris Rogue Souls had a physical print run. Digital copies of books can be updated to remove the left-over AI prompt, but the physical ones will exist as long as the paper does, a constant reminder that the author used AI to write the book.Faris denied she used AI in a post on Instagram and blamed a proofreader. I wrote Rogue Souls entirely on myown [sic], the April 17 post said. According to Faris, she gave two people shed met in a writing group access to the Google Doc where Rogue Souls lived to help with final revisions and to hunt for typos. She said one of them used AI to fix sentences without her knowledge. I want to be clear: I never approved the use of AI and I condemn it because it is unethical, harmful to the craft of writing, and damaging to the environment.Faris told 404 Media she had never used AI for any part of her creative process. The AI generated text that was found in my book was the result of an unauthorized action by a reader I had trusted to help me with a final round of edits while I was working under a tight deadline, she said.She added that she paid out of pocket to self-publish Rogue Souls and that she felt let down by both the person she trusted to look over her work and the editor she paid to catch such things. This experience has been a hard learned lesson, she said. I no longer share my manuscript with anyone. My trust in others has been permanently altered. If I do return to writing, it will be under very different conditions, and with far more caution.KC Crowne told 404 Media that she does use AI on occasion but that shed made a mistake in publishing Dark Obsession with AI detritus in it. I accidentally uploaded the wrong draft file, which included an AI prompt. The error was entirely my responsibility, she said. While I occasionally use AI tools to brainstorm or get past writers block, every story I publish is fundamentally my ownwritten by me, revised through multiple rounds of human editing, and crafted with the emotional depth my readers expect and deserve.Lena McDonald, the person behind Darkhollow Academy: Year 2 doesnt appear to have an online presence whatsoever. 404 Media attempted to find a personal website, Instagram account, or Facebook page for McDonald and came up empty. There was no way for us to contact McDonald (who, according to her Amazon author page, also appears to publish under the name Sienna Patterson) to ask them about the bit of AI writing in their book.Romance is, and has always been, a popular literary genre. Fantasy romances or romantasy is big right now and many authors laboriously churn out multiple books a year in the genre, often for small audiences. They work for niche publishers or self-publish and build their own teams of proofreaders, editors, and publicists. Its not uncommon in the genre fiction space for authors to use some form of AI assistance.Ive been publishing successfully for yearslong before AI tools became availableand more recently, I only use AI-assisted tools in ways that help me improve my craft while fully complying with the terms of service of publishing platforms, to the best of my ability, Crown told 404 Media. Ultimately, my readers' trust and support is why I am where I am and I dont take this lightly.These three authors are just the most recent examples. 404 Media previously reported that many more people publishing books right now are using some form of AI assistance. Amazon is filled with AI-generated slop. Even local libraries are starting to fill with AI-generated books written by authors who do not exist.The romance novel space is, at least, self-policing. The reactions to Faris, McDonald, and Crownes use of AI was swift. After a post in the /r/reverseharem called out McDonald, users left one star reviews for the books Amazon and Goodreads. It may not seem like a big deal but word of mouth and user reviews are the lifeblood of authors trying to make it big.Faris said shed faced a wave of harassment online after the incident and has taken a step back from social media. Ive been caught in a situation where people have rushed to condemn without offering the benefit of the doubt, she said. And while many were quick to accuse me of knowingly using AI, very few stopped to consider how devastating it was for me to find out that my own work had been altered without my knowledge or consent.

Turns out astrology is even gayer than we thought!Thats right, almost twice as many LGBTQ+ Americans consult astrology or their horoscope at least yearly, compared to adults overall, a new survey finds. We all have queer friends who have to know everyones astrological sign, is obsessed with horoscopes, and collect tarot decks, but now that isnt just a familiar anecdote, there is real research to back it up.According to a new Pew Research study, 54% of LGBTQ+ adults consult astrology or horoscopes at least once or twice a year, whereas only 28% of U.S. adults overall do the same. Plus, 33% of queer adults report that they consult tarot cards (making them three-times as likely as adults overall), and a further 21% says they rely "at least a little on what theyve learned from astrology, horoscopes, tarot cards, or a fortune teller when making major life decisions. The study points out that most Americans arent actually looking for insight or guidance on life decisions, but are doing it for fun. Women and younger Americans are also more likely to believe in astrology. Women are about twice as likely as men to believe in astrology (35% compared to 18%), and 18 to 29-year-old Gen Z adults are more likely to believe than adults over 65 (33% compared to 17%).But why do queer people gravitate toward astrology? To get to the bottom of this, we reached out to lesbian astrologer Courtney Trethric, who also teaches yoga and is an intuitive tarot guide, as well as New York-based queer astrologer Christa Lei, and Carmen Turner Schott, a best-selling author of 11 astrology books and the founder of Deep Soul Divers Astrology.Homophobia in religion rears its ugly headNow, that we have research to backup our lived experience that more queer people are into astrology, the question remains. Why? Trethric tells PRIDE its because LGBTQ+ people have been shunned in mainstream religions. Queer people have long been drawn to the occult and non-traditional forms of spirituality, she explains. Historically, we havent always been welcomed in mainstream religious spaces. Practices like astrology, tarot, and other forms of divination offer a more open and inclusive environment. It's free from discrimination, rigid dogma, or social expectations around what is or isnt acceptable. In astrology, everyone has a place.She continued, It's spirituality without the hierarchy or trauma that often accompanies organized religion. Lei agreed, We already live a life as outsiders because we are queer and dont necessarily fit in with the status quo," she says.Struggle and traumaTurner Schott has found that in her work as social worker, queer clients are more likely to lean into astrology because they are on a quest for answers and self-awareness and going through hard times.I feel that queer clients often have experienced struggles with embracing their true identities and they value having the freedom to research and explore topics that are created to support them in their search for self-awareness, Turner Schott says. Astrology, tarot, and fortune telling are tools that can be used to validate things about ourselves and others.Trethric agrees, When society already views your existence as unconventional, exploring alternative spiritual paths can feel liberating, even empowering. If youre already perceived as taboo, why not explore all the other taboos too?Is this interest in astrology new?While interest in astrology, horoscopes and tarot has always been there, Turner Schott thinks social media has made it spread faster. I think with social media and with generational movements and belief systems, we see more interest online with astrology and new age topics, she explains. "People are more open and share more. I think the new generations are more open-minded and accepting of unique, eccentric, and non-traditional beliefs.Lei thinks that people today are far more open about alternative practices than they were in the past, and that astrology being considered more mainstream than it used to be has also driven up interest. I just think its become queer currency and more people are open to talking about it and being curious, she says.Young women are also statistically more drawn to astrology, but Trethric has noticed this in her own practice as well, Ive also noticed that many young women, across diverse backgrounds, are especially drawn to astrology, she says. The community it fosters, the conversations it opens up, and the emotional intimacy it allows (particularly between women and their often female practitioners) creates a container of compassion, understanding, and relatability.

Kai found Jesus as a teenager. A person of white and Hawaiian descent, Kai now goes by gender-neutral pronouns and identifies as mh, the traditional Hawaiian term for someone in-between masculine and feminine. But when they first became Christian, the high-schooler identified as gay and was committed to celibacy.Kai a pseudonym to protect their privacy embraced their churchs welcoming but not affirming teachings about LGBTQ+ people, agreeing that same-sex intimacy was incompatible with being Christian. It felt good to be sacrificing for the Lord, Kai recalls. But they eventually realized they were harming themself.I found myself unconsciously shutting down connection, Kai told us. Inside, I was crumbling in every moment because I was so fervently policing myself.Kai believed and their church taught that Gods own love is a gift, freely given. Nevertheless, they still felt that to be worthy of that love, Kai had to surrender their orientation and need for emotional connection, even with friends.It took me a long time to be able to look back on that and say, Those were days when I hated myself, Kai said. I hated myself for the sake of demonstrating how much I loved God.Kai began to reflect on what it meant to be Christian and concluded that Jesus didnt have a problem with same-sex marriage, or gender beyond clear ideas of male and female. Christian friends quietly cut Kai out of their lives.As a sociologist and a philosopher, weve worked together to understand the experiences of LGBTQ+ conservative Christians. Kais story illustrates a dynamic that in our 2025 book, Choosing Love, we call sacramental shame.In Christianity, the word sacrament often refers to a particular rite, like baptism, that provides a tangible sign of Gods presence. Many of the LGBTQ+ Christians we spoke with felt that conservative congregations expected them to demonstrate shame for their identity to prove they hadnt turned their backs on God that God was still present in their lives.Weight of shameSome Protestant denominations fully affirm LGBTQ+ identities, same-sex marriage and gender transition, and other churches are split.But when we learned that LGBTQ+ people and their allies were advocating for change in conservative churches, we wanted to hear their stories.In interviews and fieldwork, LGBTQ+ evangelicals told us that their churches often treated being cisgender and straight as though it were more important than the Ten Commandments. In some congregations, being LGBTQ+ is treated as an especially grave sin. But since people cant change their sexual orientation or gender identity at will, treating these things as sins creates an experience of endless shame.In the sacramental shame dynamic, churches require LGBTQ+ people to feel and display shame as the sign that they have not rejected God. Their churches, families and friends more or less require them to act as though their very capacity to love others, and to recognize the truth about themselves, is a danger to the people they love.As one person recalled, there were a lot of [friends] that I cut off. And I thought I was endangering them. I thought that I was going to poison them.Feeling unworthy of the love of God and other people can make people feel like their lives are not worth living. We heard about countless struggles with addiction, depression and suicide attempts and sometimes even physical symptoms, like unexplained asthma attacks or autoimmune disorders that developed as LGBTQ+ people wrestled with the stress of trying fervently to be worthy of love.Queer Christians of colorSacramental shame isnt easy for anyone, but often it can be more complicated for Black or Indigenous Christians and other Christians of color. In part, thats because centuries-old racist tropes often depict minority groups in a sexualized way, as promiscuous or exotic. Not wanting to affirm those stereotypes can make it harder for LGBTQ+ Christians of color to navigate life.Kai, like many Christians, was drawn to the faiths message of love and justice for the oppressed. Religion can offer support and strength for dealing with the realities of racism. But that can sometimes turn into a pressure to disprove racism by behaving as respectably as possible.A Black, bisexual pastor well call Imani grew up in a church that quietly supported LGBTG+ people, but she never knew it. As a young person, Imani worried that her own sexuality might cause trouble for her mother, who had already been through a lot:I was scared of embarrassing my mother. All I could think about was the swirling doom that would be, if people found out. I never even thought for a second that it was an option.Some white respondents, too, feared that coming out would embarrass their parents. But for Imani, silence about her sexuality seemed necessary to protect the Black communitys respectability, as well as her familys belonging in the church.We also met Darren Calhoun: a Black, gay man who was urged to try to fight being gay. His pastors ideas about how to fix Darren involved having him live in an out-of-state church building for four years, sleeping on the altar and fasting two days a week.It ended when Darren heard Christ telling him to stop hiding from life. So he went home, and his pastor told the church not to talk to him.Shifting viewsSome conservative Christians, including allies who arent LGBTQ+, are starting to change the conversation and their own views.In 2024, New Testament scholar Richard Hays and his son Christopher Hays drew ire from some fellow evangelicals by publishing a book arguing that Gods mercy creates room in the church for LGBTQ+ people. Before them, evangelical leaders such as Tony Campolo, David Gushee and James Brownson had also changed their minds.Leaders or laypeople who have rethought the issue often pointed out to us that Jesus said all of the Ten Commandments come down to loving God and your neighbor. Some said their views began to shift when they remembered to exercise humility, realizing that they might not know everything about gender, sexuality and Gods plan.For example, the Book of Genesis says that God created male and female; it also says God created day and night, and sea and dry land. But as transgender Bible scholar Austen Hartke writes in his 2018 book Transforming, recognizing night and day doesnt preclude sunsets. The fact that there are seas and dry land doesnt mean marshes are abominable.As Kai tried to share Gods love with other LGBTQ+ people, Kai came to realize that their churchs expectation for all LGBTQ+ people to be celibate wasnt just hurting me; it was hurting other people. Kai decided that As holy as this feels, its not the spirit of the Jesus I fell in love with when I became a Christian.Humility is not the opposite of pride; it is a realistic awareness of your gifts and your limitations. When LGBTQ+ people celebrate pride, they are celebrating the often hard-won knowledge that they are human beings, worthy of love.Dawne Moon, Professor of Social and Cultural Sciences, Marquette University and Theresa Tobin, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Marquette UniversityThis article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

The Outlook is our weekly roundup of political issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community.The Republican-led House narrowly passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which now includes expanded restrictions on federal funding for gender-affirming care and rolls back insurance coverage requirements, potentially increasing out-of-pocket costs for transgender patients. Now the bill heads to the Senate.
