I have a funny (I think) short story in which the two antagonists are completely reprehensible. They're bigots and homophobes, which is why the protagonist decides to make them the butt of her practical joke. Virtually every market states in their guidelines that they do not accept stories that include material that is blatantly offensive to race, sexuality, etc.
Well mine certainly does, but it's there for a reason: to make a couple of characters completely hateful. Should I give up and re-write to find other ways?
Note: I am not a bigot or homophobe!!!
