Gay and Single...Forever?: 10 Things Every Gay Guy Looking for Love (and Not Finding It) Needs to Know
Steven Bereznai
Gay Is Good. Gay and Single Used to Be, Too… "Being gay and single is the new smoking," playwright Paul Rudnick has said. "It won’t be socially acceptable anymore, and you will have to go outside." Rudnick’s hilarious formulation--which cuts right to the heart of the idea that being gay and single is emerging as a new sort of pariah status--is the starting point for this original, brave, and compellingly argued book.Journalist Steven Bereznai--presentable, accomplished, well educated, successful, and in his early 30s--has never had a boyfriend. "Is Singlesville my final destination?" Bereznai wonders. Or does a partner await? And what does he really want? To pair up, or to maintain the independence of a single life? Now in Gay and Single . . . Forever?, Bereznai investigates the basic question of whether there can be acceptance for him and other single gay men—as single men—where the push to partner with a man has replaced the pressure to marry a woman. Bringing together a perfect mix of personal narrative, historical research, interviews with dozens of gay men--including Andrew Holleran, Michael Bronski, and Wayson Choy--and intensely penetrating social and psychological insight, Gay and Single ...Forever ? will resonate deeply among gay men--many of whom, even today, spend most of their lives not in a relationship.
