Philip Clark on Neil Bartlett's "Ready to Catch Him Should I Fall" in "The Lost Library: Gay Fiction Rediscovered", which I was literally just reading less than an hour before you posted this.

Why do I find it hard to believe Riker's Island is not, in fact, in a flood zone?

I loved this movie too, but it's 2013 and I really thought we had moved passed "the homo dies" in cinema.
