Summary:
"A Queer Love Story presents the first fifteen years of letters between Jane Rule - novelist and the first widely recognized "public lesbian" in North America - and
Rick
Bébout
, journalist and editor with the Toronto-based Body Politic, an important incubator of LGBT thought and activism. Rule lived in a remote rural community on Galiano Island, British Columbia, and wrote a column for the magazine.
Bébout
resided in and was devoted to Toronto's gay village. In her letters, Rule reflects on her life with companion Helen Sonthoff and expectations regarding marriage, monogamy, and long-term relationships. In his letters, Béboutt details his more "promiscuous affections," ranging from a knowing glance at a stranger in the subway to obsessional on-again, off-again affairs. Together, they offer sharp-eyed and unsentimental observations on queer communities and politics and, if those politics clashed with their personal beliefs, they were not afraid to express more radical views, most notably opposition to same-sex marriage, a conviction they both shared. A Queer Love Story showcases not only two incisive minds in intimate dialogue but also, more largely, how members of the queer community worked together to build ties of love and friendship amidst intolerance and outright hostility. Jane Rule (1931 - 2007) was a Canadian writer of lesbian-themed novels and non-fiction. Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, she moved to work at the University of British Columbia 1956.
Rick
Bébout
(1950 - 2009) was one of the great figures in the intellectual and political history of Toronto's gay and lesbian community."--Provided by publisher.
