It's highly likely Sheila Gilbert doesn't know she's on their slate. She has zero online presence, as either a reader or a commenter, seriously. She just doesn't participate in the online community. I have no idea why Beale et al have listed her, as she is liberal and feminist and supportive of writers who are diverse, of QUILTBAG writers, and of socialist writers. The list of novels she's edited includes many many with QUILTBAG themes and central characters, central characters of colour, and all the things VD and co hate most. Given some people are saying anyone who hasn't rejected the nomination deserve to be punished by association, I just wanted to let them know that Sheila, at least, probably has no idea about any of this.
