...conventional, and on their debut, out (finally) July 27, the Scissor Sisters--Shears, Babydaddy, Ana Matronic, Paddy Boom and Del Marquis--walk the line with Madonna-like confidence.

The word “gay” for me has changed from a shameful denial of my sexuality to a proud celebration...
...project like your next book, Green River, Running Red? This one is so different, because it was 21 years before Gary Ridgway [was found guilty of] at least 48 murders. I saved everything. Instead of having towels and sheets in my linen closet, I've had tapes and letters and pictures and maps. People who have gone to school with Gary Ridgway, girls who have dated his brother, women who have lived with him call...
