For twenty-eight years, Gale was a hard-working businessman, operating his own pet store in Denver. However, he has been around the block, even looked in many of the windows. подъем тиц In 1969, he began a two year stint fighting the War On Bigotry in the streets of San Francisco. In fact, a couple of months before the historic Stonewall revolt, he co-founded the world's first militant gay organization, the Committee for Homosexual Freedom (CHF), which later morphed into the San Francisco Gay Liberation Front. Even though Gale doesn't wear dresses, he is considered the Rosa Parks of the gay movement, but few sixties gay activists remain alive to remember. Sad, huh?

The best horror stories are ones that could actually happen, as this one did. Of course, the story has been edited and changed a bit, here and there, not to enhance the entertainment value, but to tone down the horror of it all.

To this day, he fears lawsuits from the formerly sane. If you survive the reading of both books, no doubt you'll be asking yourself, "Then what happened?"
