reviewed Gay macho on December 31, 2012
Gay macho
The first half of this book was great. It went into detail about a certain subset of gay men called the "clone", which were urban gays who lifted weights, acted and dressed in a masculine way, and whose lives revolved around the so-called Four Ds: disco, drugs, dish and dick. But the last half of the book was a very dry synopsis of HIV/AIDS, how it ravaged the gay male community, and all the percentages and numbers. Because of that, I only give the book three stars. The editor should have stopped after the first half.
