Autorenporträt
The Chartreuse Garden is a true story of Jack Castiglione's troubled childhood involving beatings and bullying by his brothers, and being stifled by his domineering mother. In his young adulthood, he was conflicted about his sexual orientation and began to explore gay relationships. He was amazed to find so much love, acceptance, and nurturing among his new friends and sexual partners, but kept his gay lifestyle secret from his family and work colleagues. When he was twenty-four, he witnessed a catastrophic event that destroyed three innocent children he was close to. He will forever ask himself if he could have prevented this tragedy. In his newfound home in the LGBTQ community, he became aware of hate crimes directed against gays. He saw that in many cases the police in Long Beach, CA, allowed it to happen. When some of his friends became victims, Castiglione knew he had to do something this time. But in order to fully participate in ending brutality directed toward gay men, he was compelled to come out and meet this formidable challenge head-on. His accomplishments were astonishing.
