"We gotta keep each other alive any way we can 'cause nobody else is going' to do it."

I don't know how to describe this book. It centers a group of gays in a commune, Larry Mitchell modeled the book off his own life . There are pearls of wisdom throughout, many gorgeous quotable lines. I love how he loves women and their wisdom, this was told between the Stonewall riots and the beginning of AIDS with a focus on revolution.

"The strong women told the faggots that there are two important things to remember about the coming revolutions. The first is that we will get our asses kicked. The second is that we will win"

I got this copy from the library, but I am ordering one so I can cut this page out and frame it.

ChaoticMissAdventures "The faggots knew the first. Faggot ass-kicking is a time- honored spot of the men. But the faggots did not know about the second. They had never thought about winning before. They did not even know what winning meant. So they asked the strong women and the strong women said winning was like surviving, only better." 3d

The faggots act out their fantasies without beieving them to be real. The men act out their fantasies always proclaiming that they are real. . . . The men's fantasies are about control and domination and winning. The faggots move towards the limits of living in the body for they have known body ecstasy and want to live there with everyone always.
