And sooner or later, Jack will have to choose, even if it means losing Brad’s friendship forever.

• BOOK REVIEW : The Way Out: The Gay Man's Guide to Freedom May 4 2008 The Way Out by Christopher Lee Nutter is a memoir of a former Chelsea boy's glory days in the 90s who kind of lived the life.

• BOOK REVIEW : Love Between Men !! May 1 2008 While heterosexual couples have broadly based support systems in mainstream society, male couples do not. Isensee explores gay male relationships by examining the difficulty of maintaining successful male-male bondings in a hostile, homophobic society. He discusses problems unique to homosexual relationships--gay parenting, monogamy versus open relationships, AIDS, and coming out to one's own family, as well as dealing with "in-laws." Isensee uses dialog between lovers in realistic situations as a way to aid the reader in initiating communication with his partner when the going gets tough. All in all, this is a helpful book.
• BOOK REVIEW : What Do Gay Men Want? by David M. Halperin Apr 28 2008 How we can talk about sex and risk in the age of barebacking—or condomless sex—without invoking the usual bogus and punitive clichés about gay men’s alleged low self-esteem, lack of self-control, and other psychological “deficits”? Are there queer alternatives to psychology for thinking about the inner life of homosexuality? What Do Gay Men Want? explores some of the possibilities.Unlike most writers on the topic of gay men and risky sex, David Halperin liberates gay male subjectivity from psychology, demonstrating the insidious ways in which psychology’s defining opposition between the normal and the pathological subjects homosexuality to medical reasoning and revives a whole set of unexamined moral assumptions about “good” sex “bad” sex.
• BOOK REVIEW: Twenty Million New Customers!: Understanding Gay Men's Consumer Behavior Apr 27 2008 In Twenty Million New Customers: Understanding Gay Men's Consumer Behavior, readers interested in marketing trends and marketing psychology will leave all the dark, homophobic myths surrounding gay men's consumer behavior behind where they belong -- in the closet -- and find an enlightening and informative study of why gay men buy the consumer goods and services that they do. Featuring a day-in-the-life tour through the shopping styles of 44 gay men, this collection of scholarly and yet personal data from the field of business and marketing gives consumers, business managers, and, most importantly, those in the clothing industry itself, a clear reflection of what drives the gay man to buy, wear, and endorse certain clothing styles.
