On Being Different
English, Charles Kaiser, Dan Savage, Merle Miller, 2013Product details
Originally published in 1971, Merle Miller's "On Being Different" is a groundbreaking and thought-provoking book about life as a homosexual in the United States. Just two years after the Stonewall riots, Miller wrote a moving essay for the New York Times Magazine titled "What It Means to Be Gay," in response to a homophobic article published in Harper's Magazine. The article was described as "the most read and discussed essay of the decade" and evolved into the remarkable short book "On Being Different" – one of the earliest memoirs affirming the significance of coming out.
Merle Miller (1919-1986) was an editor at Harper's Magazine, Time, and The Nation, and the bestselling author of several books, including the novel "A Gay and Melancholy Sound" and "Plain Speaking," a biography of Harry S. Truman.
Dan Savage is the internationally syndicated columnist of "Savage Love" and the author of several books.
Charles Kaiser is an author, journalist, and blogger. His books include "1968 in America" and "The Gay Metropolis.".
