From Savannah, GA, now living in New York City, award-winning writer and gender-rights pioneer Perry Brass has published 19 books, including poetry, novels, short fiction, science fiction, and advice (The Manly Art of Seduction & the forthcoming The Manly Pursuit of Desire and Love), and has sold more than 200,000 copies of his books. Active in the movement toward lgbt rights (gay equality) since 1969, he co-edited Come Out!, world's first gay liberation newspaper published by New York’s Gay Liberation Front. In 1972, he co-founded the Gay Men's Health Project Clinic, New York’s first clinic for gay men, important in the city’s fight against AIDS. Brass’s work deals with issues of sexual freedom, spirituality and personal politics coming out of his involvement with the late 1960s (Stonewall gay rebellion) into the present (sexual and gender freedom). He has written about and anticipated in his work much of the progressive social change we see today throughout the world—gay marriage, economic justice, gender equality, reproductive freedom, transsexual rights, etc. You can learn more about Perry Brass through his website www.perrrybrass.com or his Huffington Post essays, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/perry-brass/.
