When I was in college, I had a gay friend who was determined to introduce me to a lot of gay literature. So, he gave me two books which I remember vividly: 'Torch Song Trilogy' and 'Last Summer at Blue Fish Cove.' I read them, and they were quite good. Not real resonate for me, but good books, and I am glad I read them. But note, we were in college! Why try to get explicit books into young hands? It does gays no favor.
