Music and Eros are the twin themes of the essays collected in this unique volume. The transcendence of classic operatic compositions is addressed whether through historical complexities or the beauty of language and treatment of time. Combined with the musical essays are several essays on topics ranging from gay studies to Freud to the "vital matters" of concern to this very readable author.

This uncommon collection of autobiographical lives focuses on fourteen gay men from both different national backgrounds and unique gay lives. The lives were fashioned in different cultural contexts thus presenting difficulties that inform each individual's experience. Gay identity and the process of self-realization are brought to the fore in this thought-provoking collection of biographical and historical essays.

Decent overview of the homosexual right. I was expecting a lot more on the Log Cabin Republicans. It reads more like a blog (assuming the formula for good blog writing is dissertation plus personal reflection) in places than a book. A lot more could have definitely been done with the topic.
