Although now a little dated, this is a sometimes funny, sometimes sad and often poignant look at various aspects of being gay, and more importantly, some of the more important gay men throughout history.

I accidentally found this book when I was clearing my box that contains old letters over the Easter. I bought this book in New York way back mid 90's and I intend to give the book to a good friend of mine who then worked in the U.K film industry as a wardrobe assistant.Unfortunately when I return home to London,my good friend died of AIDS.

He was gay,full of fun and most of all has a good heart. I bet if he was alive and have read this book,he will have a good laugh.
The Author has written the book with humour and the information are incredible going back to the early years.

I love what has Valerie Perrine quoted "Most of my male friends are gay
and it seems perfectly natural to me.I Mean, Who wouldn't like cock?

A fascinating glimpse into gay culture of 20 years ago. Some of it was a bit repetitive, but there was a lot that was entertaining, poignant, or both.
