The Oldest Gay Couple in America: A Seventy-Year Journey Through Same-Sex America - Hardcover

True love stories are always touching, indeed miraculous, but gay men have only recently seen their version of the genre in the media. Of course, in real life the story is an old one. Harwood and Bruhs (pronounced "Bruce") Mero met in 1927 and were partners until Mero died nearly 70 years later. Harwood's plain-spoken tale of their life together and their show business cronies is notable for its matter-of-fact quality. You know you've met men like them before?you just didn't know how interesting they were. Like the subjects of now classic Jeb and Dash (LJ 12/93), they proved that love can be stronger than obdurate social forces. Anyone who loves a good love story will enjoy this book, and it will serve as a primary resource for historians.?David S. Azzolina, Univ. of Pennsylvania Libs., Philadelphia
