Out & About
Published 05/01/2014
by Jim Provenzano
Remember when just the mere image of a gay or lesbian couple hugging
or kissing made your heart race? Kids today. They have no idea what it
was like to sneak a copy of After Dark from a Waldenbooks back in the
day. Fortunately, Books Inc, our fave local bookstore, this week
showcases a touching memoir (see the lead feature in the BARtab
section), a gay wedding book, and even a drag queen reading from
saucy tomes. And, Lambda Literary Award finalists read at the Public
Library. Elsewhere, sexy gay comic/graphic novel artists get an exhibit
and a bar night, plus gay guys gather to draw nude hunks in a SoMa
studio. With the wealth of queer stuff being shared this week, I feel
almost spoiled.
