Rakos isn't really a farmer. Bellamy definitely isn't a minstrel. Sheltered, sickly Prince Bellamy dreams of adventure-but not like this. Captured in enemy territory, his royal identity will get him killed. When his dangerously attractive fellow prisoner asks who he is, Bellamy claims to be a minstrel. Except he can't carry a tune to save his life. He panicked, okay? Rakos was a dragonrider until betrayal landed him in chains. Now, he knows two things for certain: he can't trust anyone, and he wants his dragon back. When the fragile minstrel asks who he is, Rakos claims he's a farmer. When Bellamy begs for help reaching the border, Rakos refuses. Until he can't resist how much Bellamy needs him. Stormy nights and deadly masquerades forge Rakos and Bellamy's unlikely partnership into something more. Something exhilarating. Rakos treats Bellamy like a person, not a weak, untouchable prince, even as he protects him. But Rakos's enemies are circling in, and that very protection might be Bellamy's undoing. Prince in Disguise is a high fantasy gay romance, with double secret identities, Only One Bed, and a teleporting ferret. The Perilous Courts series is best read in order, but each book follows a different prince and his Happily Ever After.

"'I was a writer, but not the writer I needed to be. For that I had to become a different person,' Robert Glèuck, widely acclaimed as a novelist and as a theorist of 'the new narrative,' recently told the Paris Review, in which a section of About Ed has appeared. About Ed is Glèuck's portrait of the artist Ed Aulerich-Sugai, his sometime lover, met in the seventies in San Francisco, when gay life emerged unabashedly from the closet. 'I wanted to find in Ed something to latch on to that was outside my egotism and fear, my threadbare relation to the world-a leap through Ed into lyric time,' Glèuck has said, and in this book that is both 'a novel and my version of an AIDS memoir' he wanted to capture the full range of his feelings for Ed: 'estranged from Ed, bored by him, moved by him.' It is a book about the life they lived together-art and writing and family and sex and death-and, composed over many decades, it is also a book about how the past continues to change in memory and to charge the present. 'What is the right question to ask about a life?' Glèuck asks, describing About Ed as a 'collaborative project,' since 'Ed helped me write this book.' Ed gave him 'notes to fashion a chapter about the day he was diagnosed so I could describe his experience from the inside,' and 'after Ed died, Daniel, Ed's partner, lent me Ed's dream journals.... He started writing them in 1970, the year that we met. We both used his journals, not as puzzles to solve the truth of a self but as a commons producing images that we harvested for paintings and poems. And fifty years later, there I was reading and copying out and running away from his dreams. Are they a condensed version of Ed? Shorthand? Distillation? Is he knowable and unknowable in the same degree sleeping or waking?' About Ed is a challenging and beautiful book by one of America's finest and most adventurous writers"

In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. This bittersweet Pride & Prejudice remix follows a trans boy yearning for the freedom to live openly, centering queerness in a well-known story of longing and subverting society's patriarchal and cisheteronormative expectations.London, 1812. Oliver Bennet feels trapped. Not just by the endless corsets, petticoats and skirts he's forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society's expectations. The world-and the vast majority of his family and friends-think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing a pretty dress, entertain suitors regardless of his interest in them, and ultimately become someone's wife.But Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It's during one such excursion when Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy, a sulky young man who had been rude to "Elizabeth" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart. And not to mention incredibly attractive.As Oliver is able to spend more time as his true self, often with Darcy, part of him dares begin to hope that his dream of love and life as a man could be possible. But suitors are growing bolder-and even threatening-and his mother is growing more desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: Settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be something he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly, honestly his own.The Remixed Classics SeriesA Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix by C.B.

Steeped in honey, Juventius, your golden eyes, and as sweet too when I press my lips to them - three hundred thousand kisses is not close to enoughFor centuries, evidence of queer love in the ancient world was ignored or suppressed. Even today, only a few, famous narratives are widely known - yet there's a rich literary tradition of Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond this handful of stories. Here, the poet Seán Hewitt and painter Luke Edward Hall collect together, for the first time, forty of the most exhilarating queer tales in the classical canon and bring them newly to life. A ground-breaking anthology that changes the way we see the ancient world - and invites us to reflect on the puritanism of our own - 300,000 Kisses is a riotous celebration of desire in all its forms.

Marlon Brando warf sich 1953 in eine schwarzlederne Perfecto-Biker-Jacke, hautenge Jeans und Chopper-Stiefel, setzte sich eine Fliegermütze auf und spielte in Der Wilde Johnny, den höhnischen Anführer des Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Im Jahr darauf verzichtete Tom of Finland in seinen Kunstwerken auf braunes Leder und schuf sich seine eigenen Wilden: muskulöse, hypermaskuline Rebellen , nun in schwarzes Leder gepresst und natürlich mit ordentlich PS zwischen den Beinen. Diesen Look übernahm noch im gleichen Jahr der Satyrs Motorcycle Club, der erste Club schwuler Biker - und ließ auf diese Weise Toms Fantasiewelt Wirklichkeit werden. Tom wäre natürlich nicht Tom gewesen, hätte er seinen neuen Schwulen-Ikonen keine eigene Note verliehen, indem er ihnen lederne Reithosen, kniehohe Stiefel und dazu Ledermützen verpasste und jedem Motorrad den Markennamen "Tom" auf den Tank schrieb. Toms Biker erschienen im Winter 1968 erstmals als zwei "Motorradburschen" in Physique Pictorial . Ein weiterer schaffte es auf die Titelseite der April-Ausgabe von 1960. Von da an beherrschten Biker den Inhalt von PP , sowohl in Würdigung seiner amerikanischen Leserschaft als auch infolge seiner eigenen wachsenden Besessenheit. Als er nach einer durchgängigen Figur suchte, seinem persönlichen Alter ego, erfand er 1968 Kake, den Inbegriff des Bikers in Lederkluft , und erzählte dessen wilde Geschichten in jeweils 26 Einzelbildern. Tom kleidete sich schließlich selbst wie Kake und trat bis zu seinem Lebensende in schwarzer Lederjacke, weißem T-Shirt, Jeans und hohen Stiefeln auf. The Little Book of Tom: Bikers enthält Toms früheste Werke für Physique Pictorial , Kake im Biker-Outfit und knisternd heiße Bikerbilder auf kompakten 192 Seiten - voll von harten Kerlen , die sich mit anderen harten Typen in schwarzem Leder verlustieren. Und zwar, ja, auf Motorrädern.

Hey, I'm Jamie, a 29-year-old trans guy from the UK. I've been transitioning for 12 years now after realising I was trans (by accident!) at sixteen years old. I knew I was a boy since the age of four, but realised whilst growing up that I was different. It was only in my teens that I found the words to express who I was and what I needed to do. Since then, I've been on testosterone for more than a decade - I know, I can't believe it either - I've also had top and bottom surgery and legally changed my sex, so I know a few things about the transitioning process and being trans!I want to welcome you to The T in LGBT where you can explore and learn about so many topics surrounding gender identity: realising you're trans, starting hormones, considering surgery, and everything in between. Whether you're questioning your own identity and are looking for advice on certain stages of transition, or whether you're wanting to learn about the trans experience to support someone or understand allyship, I hope this book can be your one-stop guide to everything trans related.And don't just take my word for it either - this book is packed full of advice, tips, and the personal stories of a range of trans voices, because no one journey is the same.
