SUMMARY:Bureau at Second Tuesday Lecture Series for Robert Hofler's Reading from Sexplosion: From Andy Warhol to A Clockwork Orange—How a Generation of Pop Rebels Broke all the Taboos
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau of General Services—Queer Division will be at The LGBT Community Center for Robert Hofler‘s appearance at the Second Tuesday Lecture Series. We will be selling copies of Hofler’s new book Sexplosion: From Andy Warhol to A Clockwork Orange—How a Generation of Pop Rebels Broke all the Taboos. \nThe six years between 1968 and 1973 saw more sexual taboos challenged than ever before. Film\, literature\, and theater simultaneously broke through barriers giving birth to what we still consider to be the height of sexual expression in pop culture: Gore Vidal’s Myra Breckinridge\, Hair on Broadway\, Andy Warhol and his superstars\, Mart Crowley’s The Boys in the Band\, John Schlesinger’s Midnight Cowboy\, Luchino Visconti’s Death in Venice\, Larry Kramer’s Women in Love\, actors such as Alan Bates and Dirk Bogarde\, and the proto-reality celebrity Lance Loud. \nIn Sexplosion: From Andy Warhol to A Clockwork Orange—How a Generation of Pop Rebels Broke all the Taboos\, Robert Hofler weaves a lively narrative linking the writers\, producers\, and actors responsible for creating such controversial works\, placing them within their cultural and social frameworks. While the Stonewall Riots were shaking Greenwich Village\, a group of daring artists challenged the status quo and defined the country’s concept of sexual liberation. Hofler follows the creation of and reaction to these groundbreaking works\, tracing their connections and influences on each another and the rest of the entertainment industry. \nRobert Hofler has spent more than forty years as an entertainment journalist\, at both Life and Us magazines\, and most recently at Variety. His nonfiction works include the Henry Willson biography\, The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson and Party Animals\, a biography of Allan Carr. Hofler is the theater critic for The Wrap and lives in New York City. \nReception at 6:30\nPresentation at 7 \nThe Center is located at 208 W. 13th St.\, between 7th and 8th Avenues. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:J James comes clean on coming out - Denial Deceit Discovery: Book Reading and signing
DESCRIPTION:Meet the British author behind this year’s most compelling coming out story.  J James will read from his debut book\, Denial Deceit Discovery and will then be delighted to sign copies of the book for readers. \nPlease note: The Bureau is closed on Tuesdays\, but we will open at 6 PM for this event\, which will begin at 7. \n \nAfter over a decade of teaching\, educational management and administration\, James needed to find an outlet to share his personal story. As a lifelong lover of literature and writing\, James has dedicated his career to educating students\, helping them develop the tools they’ll need to share their stories in the future. \nHis first manuscript was inspired by the response James received from the Catholic priest who officiated his marriage annulment. As part of the process\, James was asked to submit a small document outlining his feelings about the events that culminated in the failure of his marriage. The priest commented that the piece was the most moving and impactful account he had ever read.  He called it an “inspiration” to other men and women struggling with similar situations.  After exploring many options\, James realized that his story could help people to understand the complex issues facing gay men in denial – hopefully\, helping to spare others from the heartache he and his loved ones experienced. \nJames currently lives and works in Southeast Asia.  He enjoys the tropical climate\, and the relaxed pace\, which has provided him with the opportunity to continue developing ideas for his second novel. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
