A Queer Reader: A Compendium of Quotes By and About Gay Men Throughout the Ages, edited by Patrick Higgins (TPB, 1993, $4.50, which is 1/3 the internet price.) **SOLD**
"A Queer Reader is a rich collection of quotes and short excerpts about the gay experience through the centuries, from Plato to Andy Warhol. Arranged chronologically and drawing on sources from the Satyricon to the Gay News, from Michelangelo's Sonnets to a speech in the House of Lords, from graphic graffiti found in Pompeii to a Playboy interview with David Bowie, this unprecedented collection draws on novels, speeches, biographies, autobiographies, histories, and ephemera to present gay history as never before."

The Khaki Closet: What you need to know about the U.S. Military if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual or have tested "positive" on the HIV test, published by Citizen Soldier (small pamphlet, 1992, $.75)
Color me naive, but I learned a lot from reading this little book. I had known that military personnel found to be gay were discharged from the services, but not that they might go to prison for years, and have to give up their pensions. It would seem that the army is less aggressive in this than the air force, and the air force is less aggressive than the marines, but they all are aggressive against lesbians. Things have certainly changed quickly in the last few years.
These books can be found in the sexuality section. (Avail. 9/14)
