chapelofthechimes:mimichon:The Butch Manual, Clark Henley “A super scarce cult classic, The Butch Manual (The Sea Horse Press, 1982) is an irreverent romp through one segment of gay culture: the Butch, or ‘Macho Man,’ of the early 1980s. The book takes a very amusing look at the so-called ‘Gay Clone’ of the era and offers facetious advice to queer men on adopting excessively masculine behavior, including movement, speech patterns, and appearance.Originally published as a satire of homosexual social behavior — at a time where no one was publishing books by gay men and on the topic of gay life — it has now become a nostalgic trip to an era some call ‘the golden age of promiscuity,’ just before the devastating AIDS epidemic.Clark Henley died of AIDS in 1988.” -- source link
