 Get By : A Survival Guide for Black Gay Youth
by
Jonathan W. Jones, Author (Paperback
- December 28, 2005) To be a male who is both Black and Gay is often referred
to as the greatest taboo. Growing up with such a stigma presents the young
African-American homosexual with a lifetime of dilemmas. This book gives Black
Gay youth a comprehensive guide to embracing their identity and developing into
proud, strong, and powerful members of their communities. With chapters on coming
out, staying healthy, Black Gay History, religion, safe sex, self-Defense, the
down-low, and more,
Get By : A Survival Guide for Black Gay Youth serves to empower
the young Black Gay male against rising adversity, and triumph in the face of
multiple oppressions.

| Courting
Justice : Gay Men and Lesbians V. the Supreme Court by Joyce
Murdoch,
Deb Price. If this meticulously documented and compellingly narrated
chronicle of the gay-related cases before the nation's highest court over the
past fifty-odd years were even half as good as it is--or, ideally, half as
long--it would still be terrific. Lending heft to the notion that the couple
that investigates together domesticates together, veteran D.C. journalists Joyce
Murdoch and
Deb Price, life partners since 1985, have composed the gay bookend
to Bob
Woodward's The
Brethren--with all the epic sweep, painstaking research, and intimate
storytelling of such nonfiction classics as And
the Band Played On and Common
Ground. |
| Death
Claims by Joseph
Hansen. The second in Joseph
Hansen's
critically acclaimed Dave Brandstetter mystery series--a 25-book collection
remarkable in that it featured a ruggedly, comfortably gay protagonist sleuth as
far back as the early 1970s--Death
Claims is a prime example of the
tough, vivid prose style that has earned Hansen comparisons to Hammett and
Chandler, and has prompted the Los Angeles Times to call him "the most
exciting and effective writer of the classic private-eye novel working today."
Stoic but sensitive insurance claims investigator Brandstetter is convinced that
rare book dealer John Oats's drugged body washing ashore wasn't the result of
mere "death by misadventure," but murder. Everyone's got conflicting
stories--from Oats's shrewish ex-wife and longtime business partner to his
devoted young bibliophile girlfriend and the beneficiary of his life insurance
policy, his angelically beautiful and adoring actor son, Peter--who's suddenly
missing! Along the way, Dave's search for closure becomes intertwined with his
own silent battle to exorcise the ghost of his dead beloved, Rod, and throw off
the chains of the past. |

Hard
Love by Ellen
Wittlinger. Like Barbara
Wersba's Whistle
Me Home, Hard
Love tackles the delicate issue of unrequited love between a
straight and gay teen. But what sets this novel apart from similarly themed
books is Wittlinger's choice to present the story from John's straight male
point of view. Funny and poignant first-person narration will engender empathy
for John as he attempts to connect with his emotionally distant parents and an
understanding of how his need for their affection has manifested itself in
romantic feelings for a girl he knows is unavailable to him. Hard Love is a
thoughtful and on-target addition to the growing canon of gay and lesbian
coming-of-age stories. (Ages 12 and older) --Jennifer Hubert

Clum. From the lyrical innuendo of Cole Porter and
Noel Coward to the
innumerable drag imitations of Merman, Martin, Garland, and Minnelli, from the
1920s-30s musical-comedy stock character of the "fairy" to the ambiguous
sexuality of Bobby in Sondheim's groundbreaking Company,
musical theater has long been a site of gay influence, revealed or repressed to
various degrees. |
