Permanent Partners, Betty Berzon
This is the best reference book about gay relationship out there. Very pragmatic and down-to-earth. Not the cliché you might find in most self-help crap. This book really helps prepare myself for a committed relationship. |

The Male Couple's Guide, Eric Marcus
Read it a long time ago, never had a chance to buy a copy until now. "Finding a man, making a home and building a life"..... if that interests you. |

Beefcakes, F. Valentine Hooven, III
Canadian DirectorThom Fitzgerald (Hanging Garden) adapted this muscle-culture pictorials and released an interesting documentary/feature film under the same name. This is a valuable piece of work, documenting the homoerotic muscle culture and art forms popular in the 50s and 60s. It was indeed part of the gay heritage. |

Winner of the Lamda Award. Bob Smith, a brilliant comedian, wittily narrates about the exhilarating episodes of his life with partner Tom including thanksgiving dinner at home, meeting with in-laws in Florida, the course of his career development, his vacation in Santa Fe...... The one about attending his father's funeral is extremely touching. |

A Place At Their Table, Bruce Bawer
One of the most influential books in my life. The author offers very critical analysis on how gay people should come out of the closet in the mainstream society while emancipating themselves from the self-perpetuated stereotypical lifestyle of the gay subculture. It's about a society where "every child should have a place at the table." |
|
