DID NOT FINISH: 22%

''Richard argues that eternally youthful gay men do more harm to the gay movement than do men who seduce little boys'' yeahhhh, no I can't read this at the moment. Imagine thinking that a gay manchild(coughing baby) does more harm to the gay movement than a gay pedo(atomic bomb). Gay men fought to be separated with the pedos they share the same sexuality with, Richard's character definitely wouldn't move an inch to help about that. Haha so funny, this is the man who is dying from AIDS and I should feel sorry about? I have zero empathy points to give. I am way too sensitive at the moment for that!

Such a waste because the prose is good, the prologue is written beautifully even though the theme is disturbing. Maybe if I hadn't read what I read so recently maybe just maybe I could ignore it and move on with it but atm I just can't. I am indeed very sensitive about that atm.

I should have bought Carol by Patricia Highsmith.
