Review
A Gay Diary is, unquestionably, the richest historical document of gay male life in the United States that I have ever encountered.... It chronicles a whole life in which homosexuality is but one part and an ever-changing part at that. And, it illuminates a critical period in gay male American history. -- Body Politic
From Scientific American
A refreshing dip back into a gay world and consciousness which even many of us who lived through it had almost forgotten: not the world of oppression we read so much about nowadays (though that certainly existed) but a world of joy and adventure, surreptitious but not always all that dangerous.... The book is a jewel.
