4-0 out of 5 stars Feeling the Passion through the Pages
Larry Kramer's collection of pieces he wrote for various New York publications clearly communicate his passion for the issue as a gay man and as an AIDS activist.Some, perhaps many may feel that he is too volatileand angry in his writings and his speeches-- perhaps.However, in themidst of an extraordinarily fast growing epidemic and the experience ofeveryone around him suffering and dying from this horrible virus, Kramer'spassion is understandable and while you may not agree with his tactics, youmay be able to feel his rage and his frustration.I recommend this book tothose who missed his articles and speeches when they were initiallypublished and given as an integral part of understanding an important partof HIV/AIDS history and activism. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on Harvey Milk and the Castro
This is something of a prejudiced review since I was one of the contributors to this book.But there is NO other book that covers the history of the "gay mecca" of San Francisco as thoroughly and as completely as this one does.The book is a paean to the "gay ghetto" of San Francisco with particular attention paid to the time when Harvey Milk was its cultural and spiritual leader.The writing professionalism of the contributions varies but all of them come from the heart.The photographs alone chronicling the heyday of the Castro are worth the price of admission.Frequently touching, frequently shocking in their nakedness and nudity, they capture the Castro in photographs to make the book a complete volume of text and pictures of a tiny urban area whose influence extended far beyond its geographical size.

5-0 out of 5 stars valuable history with a point of view and great humour
CAVEAT: I'm hardly an unbiased reviewer, since I marched with ILGO in 1991 and was arrested several times thereafter.
5-0 out of 5 stars Sour Grapes
I have to disagree with Video maker's inaccurate review.This book was a great read and really authentic. For sure Maguire gave it to those who deserved harsh words, which was institutions of power and politicians, not friends or the "gay community." I wonder if video maker actually read the book! Rock the Sham was written with much generously, great humor and a total lack of bitterness-in other words, honestly. As someone who is an activist Rock the Sham was like a breath of fresh air - activists are not perfect and as Joan Nestle says the author "tells secrets." Perhaps the last anonymous reviewer is a snake in the grass. I too marched in 1991 and have been arrested with ILGO and have found the details and history in Rock the Sham inspiring.My name is Paul Maher.Rock the Sham! Rules!

5-0 out of 5 stars Rock the Sham is great storytelling burning with personal and political truth
I just finished this book in 2 days, which is a record for me!It was so compelling I couldn't put it down.It's an example of personal and political storytelling at its best.The cast of characters is unique and the author brings them to life.

5-0 out of 5 stars Exemplary theoretical AND practical political reading
As a liberal democrat, I am likely somewhat more conservative when paired against Mr. Tucker's own evidently admitted political ideologies, but I found this essay collection well researched, thoughful, and useful for a final course project on American Queer political theory. 5-0 out of 5 stars library journal recommends The Queer Question
"The author, a gay health activist and journalist, offers a progressive vision of democracy as an experiment, a process in need of constant renewal, as seen through the lens of the gay rights movement.The essays cover such topics as the right to privacy vs. the right to live openly in the world, the need to redefine the family to include the true nature of relations in modern society, feminism and gay porn, and the reinvigoration of what the author views as an all too moribund social democratic agenda now abandoned by the traditional left wing in the United States.Tucker has an effective, almost relentless gift for pushing the envelope of an argument, taking nothing for granted and questioning every position, including his own.This challenging, often provocative work by a distinctive voice of a newer, more radicalized left is highly recommended." Library Journal, Nov. 1, 1977

5-0 out of 5 stars Sharp, witty essays take on the gay movement and the left
"From time immemorial," Emma Goldman declared in 1913, "the wise and practical have denounced every heroic spirit... idealists and visionaries, foolish enough to throw caution to the winds, have advanced mankind." Scott Tucker belongs to the second category. He dares to call himself not only queer but non-monogamous, and - horror of horrors - a democratic socialist. Tucker reminds us that Oscar Wilde shared all three stances, which is not immodesty, but a salutary reminder that queer liberation can and must be linked with social and economic liberation. For Tucker, freedom is indivisible, a position which leads him into witty polemics against his fellow gay activists, not to mention the current President of the United States. Read more
