Description
This book, an overview of gay life in the U.S., puts to rest the stereotype that homosexual communities thrive only in large cities. In coast-to-coast travels, the author, former editor of Boston's Gay Community News, met vast numbers of gays and lesbians in a variety of geographic, ethnic, social and cultural settings. The author unexpectedly found that aside from some intolerant communities, small towns accept gays and lesbians--gay farmer couples, for example, or a lesbian miner--in community projects and politics.
