In addition to interviews from David Sedaris, George Takei, Barney Frank, and Tammy Baldwin, Travels in a Gay Nation brings us lesser-known voices--a retired Naval officer, a transgender scholar and "drag king," a Princeton philosopher, two opera sopranos who happen to be lovers, an indie rock musician, the founder of a gay frat house, and a pair of Vermont garden designers. In this age when contemporary gay America is still coming under attack, Gambone captures the humanity of each individual. For some, their identity as a sexual minority is crucial to their life's work; for others, it has been less so, perhaps even irrelevant. But, whether splashy or quiet, center-stage or behind the scenes, Gambone's subjects have managed--despite facing ignorance, fear, hatred, intolerance, injustice, violence, ridicule, or just plain indifference--to construct passionate, inspiring lives. 410 0$aLiving out. 606 $aLesbians$zUnited States$vInterviews 606 $aGay people$zUnited States$vInterviews 606 $aBisexual people$zUnited States$vInterviews 606 $aTransgender people$zUnited States$vInterviews 615 0$aLesbians 615 0$aGay people 615 0$aBisexual people 615 0$aTransgender people 676 $a306.76/6092273 676 $aB 700 $aGambone$b Philip$01814086 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960781303321 996 $aTravels in a gay nation$94367690 997 $aUNINA
