Rock Hudson was born 100 years ago today.
He should be recalled with infinite gratitude and respect for altering the national, perhaps global, discussion about AIDS.
Here is a collage triptych commissioned by a client two years back.

"Smile" by director Michael Ritchie is a 1975 predecessor to mockumentaries like "Best in Show," offering biting social commentary with deadpan delivery. Like Robert Altman's "Nashville," it offers a funhouse mirror reflection of a country fluffing itself up for the Bicentennial orgy.

I had piles of comic books from my 1960s childhood. But many were coverless and worthless. So I scoured them all for gay subtext panels.
Robert Melendez, a gifted graphic designer I knew, created this provocative piece from my panels in 1987.

My former boyfriend Dave Fleck and I had parted badly that February but couldn't quit each other. So we opted for friends with benefits status. It was a glorious weekend.

Today is the birthday of Brook Garrett -- the quiet man in my attention-grabbing public life. But my every moment of joy and triumph is either enabled or nurtured by his thoughtfulness.
He's transformed this curmudgeon into a kinder soul. He's kinder, smarter, wiser and more inventive than I.

I just inherited these vintage gay magazines, 1974-1979.
They previously belonged to an ACT UP comrade who was taken from us in 1993. (Say his name: Tim Bailey!)
They were passed on to fellow activist Jim Baggett, who was their custodian for 42 years and decided in June to share them with me.
