Disco! For most gay men of a certain age - like those of you who listen to 40 Plus: Gay Men, Gay Talk - Disco represented so much of our lives then and now. It was the age of freedom, fun, pushing the "extremes" and also the age of loss due the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
In his newly released book, Author Frank DeCaro, takes us on a frolicking, entertaining, yet serious tribute to the overlooked art form of disco, which has never been given its proper due, nor taken its true place in the historic struggle for LGBTQ+, gender, and racial equality.
Key lessons you'll learn:
  • How Disco became a movement towards more LGBTQ+ rights
  • Gain a glimpse into some of the stories in the Disco era that shaped us as gay men today
  • Discover how Disco can still teach us so many thing about our present day struggls as LGBTQ+ individuals
