Central Kentucky is known for cornfields, blue-ribbon sows, industrial sites, and tractor parades. In the summer, families sip sweet tea on the porch beneath lavender sunsets and watch the day go down. Every fried chicken supper hits the spot, and cafes off the beaten path give patrons reason to sing karaoke and come alive with their kin. For those cut from the cloth of prior generations, central Kentucky provides the quintessential small-town experience-stay in church, graduate, go to work on the farm, marry young, own a home, build a family, repeat.For the other ones, who desire an alternate route, dream beyond the fold, reject societal norms and hold progressive opinions, Mercer can be challenging. For a once closeted gay, like Logan Lee, the tiny, conservative corner of his hometown presents an opportunity to transcend and forgive cultural expectations, and probe readers to be open-minded.In his breakout memoir Small Town Gay, Lee shares his experience of reconciling his sexuality at a young age, with no like role models to look to for guidance. With a heart for education, he strives to be that example for the next generation, by inviting children, parents, and allies of the LGBTQ+ community to unify in the name of voice, tolerance, unconditional love, and above all things-home.

It isn't easy growing up in the Bible Belt of East Tennessee when you start having same-sex fantasies as a child, especially when your father is a preacher who thinks that homosexuality is a sin. Moments of pleasure and the torment of guilt intersect in this memoir by Jeffrey L. Carrier. He relates the exploration of his nature and his effort to make sense of his feelings, taking us along on his journey of acceptance. Beginning with his childhood in the 1960s, he introduces us to the many people he meets along the way, including his grandmothers, an aunt with a refreshingly open mind, two strong southern women who taught the boy some important life lessons and a kind and nurturing professor’s wife in Michigan. He presents his father as a man of contrasts, a beloved pastor devoted to his profession whose priorities shift when his wife dies and he quickly remarries. The joy and pain of loving another man for the first time while attending a Baptist college climaxes with a suicide attempt. We follow Jeffrey’s journey as he leaves the hills of Tennessee for the skyscrapers of Manhattan. There he finally comes to terms with his sexuality and takes his first steps into an openly gay lifestyle, the AIDS crisis of the 1980s looming large in the background. His life takes another turn when he meets silent film star Patsy Ruth Miller. Trying to reclaim lost fame by penning her memoirs, she introduces him to a life of old-Hollywood glamour. Other highlights include a life-changing experience in Northern Michigan, working at a hectic advertising agency, and discovering faded gay love letters in the basement of a Brooklyn brownstone. By turns romantic, heart-wrenching and sentimental, the book offers something for anyone seeking more understanding of the challenges facing the LGBTQ community.

The HIV/AIDS epidemic has been a major catastrophe for gay communities. In less than two decades, the disease has profoundly changed the lives of gay men and lesbians. Not just a biological and viral agent, HIV has become an opportunistic social invader, reshaping communities and the distribution of wealth, altering the social careers of gay professionals and the patterns of entry into gay and lesbian life, and giving birth to groups like ACT UP and Queer Nation. The distinguished contributors to this volume discuss the ways HIV/AIDS has changed collective and individual identities, as well as lives, of gay men and lesbians, and how these alterations have changed our perceptions of the epidemic. They cover such topics as the impact of the epidemic on small towns, cultural barriers to AIDS prevention, gay youth and intergenerational relations, and the roles of lesbians in AIDS organizations. This collection provides compelling insights into the new communities among gay men and lesbians and the new kinds of identities and relationships that are emerging from the social and cultural ferment engendered by HIV/AIDS. Contributors include Barry D. Adam, Lourdes Arguelles, Rafael Miguel Diaz, John H. Gagnon, Gilbert Herdt, Gregory M. Herek, Nan D. Hunter, Peter M. Nardi, John L. Peterson, Anne Rivero, Gayle S. Rubin, Beth E. Schneider, and Nancy E. Stoller.
