Longtime Companions (eBook, ePUB)

Autobiographies of Gay Male Fidelity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This unique compilation of stories offers a sophisticated alternative to anything goes gay literature. Challenging the stereotype that gay men are incapable of lasting, nurturing relationships, 15 long-term gay couples share slices of their own lives as they have lived them, giving you insight into their present relationships and discussing mates who have passed on. Full of triumphs over society and personal obstacles, Longtime Companions highlights a richly fulfilling alternative to the useless, no-future life of promiscuity and shows you the nurturing and inspiring power of monogamous gay male relationships.
