...shock of Sodom and Gomorrah was not just its homosexuality, but also the classes, nationalities and genders of the participants. Davenport-Hines argues that Sodom and Gomorrah, "the first novel to present human sexuality as a continuum including bisexuality and the homosexual behavior of married men," opened the closet door for all subsequent literary references. The biographer admires Proust's courage, particularly since the pale, sad-eyed Frenchman was almost constantly concerned that he would be publicly humiliated for his preference, as Oscar Wilde had been not long before.

...could travel 40 minutes out of the city to Ashford, for a performance that's a little more intimate and a lot more surreal.

The OSAPR is not a logical place to provide oversight to peer counseling groups that primarily focus on eating concerns (ECHO), sexual orientation/gender identity (CONTACT), general adjustment (Room 13), or contraception...
...paved the way to his current broad tastes. “It has to start with whoever you see on MTV,” he says. “Depending on your background, popular culture is the only way you can get exposed to certain things, and the door by which you can enter the whole culture. That was my introduction to rap.”Hearing Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G. prompted hours spent poring over West Coast underground rap records in Manhattan. After that, the shift from fan to artist happened quickly...
