Leading the Parade: Conversations with America's Most Influential Lesbians and Gay Men

Lesbians and gay men undeniably occupy a very different place in American society today than they did in the mid-1940s. Back then, only a few courageous gays and lesbians gathered to organize social and educational groups. Two decades later, a new generation of movers and shakers came forward to build on the firm foundation established by these fledgling groups, taking greater risks and seeking greater visibility. Leading the Parade traces the evolution of the gay and lesbian liberation movement through the personal profiles and stories of nearly 40 individuals whose daring efforts changed America's attitude toward homosexuality during the gay rights movement of the 20th century. The personal profiles of the gay activists and political officials within this poignant book illuminate the events that shaped them. Many of their actions forced this nation to confront and change its views and helped this disparaged group gain acceptance.

Two Columnists; One Book.
Bears In The Raw is an unflinching look at gay life in the 1990s and early 2000s, written from two differing perspectives: 
- The AIDS Crisis
- Sex
- Gay Rights
- Dating Nightmares
- Gay History
- Politics
- Bear Life
- Looking For Love
Enjoy a glimpse into our recent past. Often funny, occasionally heartbreaking, Bears In The Raw serves as a collective memoir of two men on two different paths in life. Luke views the world through the heady lens of erotic magazines; Paul takes a much more pragmatic approach to politics and gay history. Together they share a close look at the important issues of a time not so long ago. History is repeating itself even now as we move toward an uncertain future.
Learn about love and life from two men as they write their deepest dreams and failures. Bears In The Raw is as relevant now as it was back then and includes recent updates on their love-lives today.
