Crybaby Queer
The Rainbow doesn’t always look bright, and the stories of its people are testament
to the challenges of being gay. Based on actual events from 1986, this retro-novel
takes you to the edge of the rainbow and back.
Set in San Francisco’s Castro District, it follows the path of a 16 year-old runaway who finds himself in a wild and decadent world. Running from sexual abuse and social isolation, Joey ventures into a new life where being gay is expected, sex isn’t a sin, and he is adored above all others. The only cost for all this freedom is in the white powder he shoves in his nose and the dirty deeds he must do to afford it. The adventure under the rainbow begins here.
