Is the Angry Author Just a Couch Potato?
- Share via
I am amazed that anyone could be surprised gay people would ever get angry enough to resort to terrorism as depicted in James Robert Baker’s novel, “Tim and Pete.”
As if seeing most of your friends die over a decade wouldn’t drive you wild with grief.
As if watching fundamentalists and right-wingers actively hasten your friends’ and your own death by withholding monies, medical care and dignity wouldn’t push you toward the edge.
Wake up, America. If Baker’s fiction of gay terrorism is anything, it’s prophetic.
