In addition to interviews from David Sedaris, George Takei, Barney Frank, and Tammy Baldwin, \u003ci\u003eTravels in a Gay Nation\u003c\/i\u003e brings us lesser-known voices a retired Naval officer, a transgender scholar and drag king, a Princeton philosopher, two opera sopranos who happen to be lovers, an indie rock musician, the founder of a gay frat house, and a pair of Vermont garden designers.\u003cbr\u003e In this age when contemporary gay America is still coming under attack, Gambone captures the humanity of each individual. For some, their identity as a sexual minority is crucial to their life s work; for others, it has been less so, perhaps even irrelevant. But, whether splashy or quiet, center-stage or behind the scenes, Gambone s subjects have managed despite facing ignorance, fear, hatred, intolerance, injustice, violence, ridicule, or just plain indifference to construct passionate, inspiring lives.\u003cbr\u003eFinalist, \u003ci\u003eForeword Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e s Anthology of the Year \u003cbr\u003eOutstanding Book in the High School Category, selected by the American Association of School Libraries \u003cbr\u003eBest Book in Special Interest Category, selected by the Public Library Association \u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-57372\"\u003eJohn G.
