"Gay novel" wins prize [UPDATED]

A Times headline reads: "Gay Novel Wins British Literary Prize."

Does that mean the novel likes other novels rather than, say, books of poetry?

Between fiercely Orthodox Jews and gay novels, it's a strange world we live in, but the Times is, thankfully, there to cover every last bit of it.

UPDATE

The revised headline: "Tale of Gay Life in Britain Wins a Top Literary Prize." I will count this as my own personal victory in the blogger vs. mainstream media struggle, unrealistic as it may be to assume I played any role in their changing this headline.
