TotallyOz Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This was my first gay love affair in literature. I had to read it quietly and checked it out of a local library. It was magic for me as it helped me to see a future and a world outside of Alabama. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/armistead-maupins-tales-city-ellen-page-joins-laura-linney-olympia-dukakis-netflix-sequel-1105348 Riobard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Riobard Posted April 24, 2018 Members Share Posted April 24, 2018 Also my first gay book when the 1st in the series was published beyond the 'zine stages, but just as I launched into big city life and realized San Francisco and New York might be more interesting than the OK place I landed. Then Kramer's Faggots ... perhaps a little more jarring than Maupin fare. But who had much time for books competing with tea dance?! I suspect Faggots in Alabama was shelved under fireplace fuel.

AdamSmith Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 In the 1993 March in NYC, I randomly found myself walking alongside Armistead Maupin. Whom I certainly had known to that time only through his work. We struck up a (very warm, immediately intimate; he was beautiful that way) convo,. One of my several high points from that day.

Members Riobard Posted April 25, 2018 Members Share Posted April 25, 2018 No surprise a quarter century on Netflix picks him up. If a certain clever, genteel, North Carolinian writer is tuning in here ... greetings and salutations! But maybe the moon is a bit of a reach in this regard.
