Stuck Rubber Baby by Howard Cruse
3.0
Having grown up in the eighties and nineties, this book really helps put into perspective how difficult being a gay guy was back in the fifties and sixties. I was aware of it of course, but actually seeing a (fictionalised) account of a gay man's struggle back then really helps paint a picture of how messed up the world was.
Although life is better for homosexuals and minorities in western countries, it's good to keep in mind that this sort of shit is always a couple of radical movements away from descending back into hatred and intolerance.
Uh, I didn't mean to turn this review into a sermon but these are the thoughts that were going through my head while reading.
