They are America's queens--and, more important, they are survivors whose lives have been transformed by sweeping cultural change. In this fabulously fun and entertaining book, they share their stories--humorous, heartbreaking, shocking, and profound tales that only older gay men can tell. It was their generation that was devastated by AIDS, a health crisis that deprived us of so many brilliant, creative lives, including many of their friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this delightful group memoir, Mick, Jessay, Robert, and Bill tell all about their lives, revealing who they are beyond TikTok, where they came from, and how they found one another. They offer their collective wisdom on a rainbow of topics, including coming out, sex, gay liberation, gay marriage, AIDS, aging, and saving the best act for last. Outrageous and hilarious, refreshingly earnest and unfiltered, engaging and insightful, they've been through it all--harassment, divorce, depression, bankruptcy, even near-death experiences. Between the four of them, there's not much of life they haven't seen or done, and now they dish on everything from fitness and fabulous dinner parties to church and orgies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intimate and moving portrait of four friends who have experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly, and are still looking forward to the best that is yet to come, \u003cem\u003eThe Old Gays Guide to the Good Life\u003c\/em\u003e is a celebration of lives lived to the fullest--sometimes against all odds--a lesson for all of us that age is just a number and that getting older can be audaciously fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mick Peterson, Bill Lyons, Robert Reeves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0063333600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063333604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Wave\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.31w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2023 pg. 5","brand":"Mick Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44122909966591,"sku":"9780063333604","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6c4c561-fc7e-4615-a938-b32e84216239.jpg?v=1687427814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-old-gays-guide-to-mick-peterson-9780063333604","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
