Queer Crips Book Content Preview: Get an inside perspective on life as a disabled gay man! Queer Crips: Disabled
Gay Men and Their Stories reverberates with the sound of "cripgay" voices rising to be heard above the din of
indifference and bias, oppression and ignorance. This unique collection of compelling first-person narratives is at
once assertive, bold, and groundbreaking, filled with characters--and character. Through the intimacy of one-o-
-one storytelling, gay men with mobility and neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injury, deafness, blindness, and
AIDS, fight isolation from society--and each other--to establish a public identity and a common culture. Queer
Crips features more than 30 first-hand accounts from a variety of perspectives, illuminating the reality of the
everyday struggle disabled gay men face in a culture obsessed with conformist good looks. Themes include

rejection, love, sex, dating rituals, gaycrip married life, and the profound difference between growing up queer and
disabled, and suffering a life-altering injury or illness in adulthood. Co-edited by Bob Guter, creator and editor of
the webzine BENT: A Journal of Cripgay Voices, the book includes: two performance pieces from acclaimed
author and actor Greg Walloch poetry from Chris Hewitt, Joel S. Riche, Raymond Luczak, Mark Moody, and co-
editor John Killacky essays from BENT contributors Blaine Waterman, Raymond J. Aguilera, Danny Kodmur,
Thomas Metz, Max Verga, and Eli Clare interviews with community activist Gordon Elkins and Alan Sable, one of
the first self-identified gay psychotherapists in the United States and much more! Queer Crips is a forum for
neglected cripgay voices speaking words that are candid, edgy, bold, dreamy, challenging, and sexy. The book is
essential reading for academics and students working in lesbian and gay studies, and disability studies, and for
anyone who's ever visited the place where queerness and disability meet.
