Steve is a jeweler who specializes in rare gems. He's a rare gem himself for the 1950s, a bachelor with a certain reputation. Nate, his best friend and business partner, has never had that sort of reputation, so when Steve gets the call that Nate was caught in establishment that caters more to his type, he goes home to see what's up. Nate's got problems of his own, as well as the most supportive and nosy family a man could ask for. He has things he wants to tell Steve, but will society allow it to happen? Parhelion's Peridot is the tale of an unconventional romance in a very conventional time, full of laughs, tears, and ultimately, friendship. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

More than anything, Parhelion has captured the expectations and possibilities available to gay men in the 50's. Remember, sodomy was still illegal in those days. Gay men were reviled as an entity even though individuals may have been accepted by their friends. You know the attitude: "Joe's okay but gay guys in general freak me out."
The same could have been said of black people and muslims in later years.

Most gay men never expected to be able to live traditional monogamous lives, so they accepted what they could. (
