AnnotationOlder and younger gay men rarely talk to each other, and this book examines the "two tribe" mentality about age that divides the gay male community. The author uses polls, surveys and interviews conducted with men from five different age groups to illustrate the gay community's attitudes towards age and the rites of passage associated with certain age groups. He explores the gay experience through young, middle-aged and older viewpoints, including relationships, dating between different age groups, the Internet, sex, drugs, alcohol, HIV/AIDS, fitness, plastic surgery, retirement, harassment, and discrimination.
