Why would she change a pen name she's come up with out of the pairing of two names that have meaning to her because it may be similar to someone with a dubious history on the earth? You'll not find many names that don't have some "link" with someone unsavoury sharing a similar name.

It's grasping straws to label any and all of her actions as anti-LGBTQ.

If there was any truth to this.... she chose a pen name after someone involved with gay conversion therapy (or whatever), for what reason? The Comoran Strike series features one paragraph (out of 5 books so far) that describes a serial killer as wearing a "wig and a woman's coat" and that is literally it.

So, she's gone to all this trouble to choose that name for what reason? A private joke? The Strike books are hardly promoting a new wave of anti-LGBTQ opinions are they? It's almost like people are outraging themselves over something that is not there.
