Well, I dunno - I haven't been keeping up with the YA lately, so the first thing I thought when I saw the cover was "Oh, Christ - are they going to make Billy straight for this story or worse, in general?" Since Billy and Teddy don't get prominent indications that they're together in the first place, and de-gayifying characters has happened before (in general media), it's not that far of a stretch to fear that it might happen to these two, and that cover really does not help.
