Beautiful photography within.

The wonderful #NathanLane reading for #LettersLive. #LGBT #gay

"#ArmisteadMaupin's #TalesOfTheCity books chronicle the lives and loves of a group of unique people living in San Francisco in the late 1970s. Probably the most beloved of these characters is Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver, a gay man who in the second novel, discovers that his parents have joined Anita Bryant's campaign in Florida to quell the rights of gays. He later writes a letter to his mother."

#SoulMan #SoulSinger Sam Moore, 89, of Sam & Dave Duo Dies Of #Surgery Complications in #Florida.

Known for 60's hits on #Stax label, by early 1970s Moore had averse dealings with former duo mate David Prater, only briefly reuniting, but Moore was embraced by many show biz stars including Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed and Don Henley. After recovering from drug addiction in 1980s, Sam even had acting role as a Reverend on 1993 #PBS series #TalesOfTheCity shortly before recording a duet of "Rainy Night In Georgia" with country singer Conway Twitty.

#SamMoore fully supported #GOP and even collaborated with #LeeAtwater and #BobDole in 1990s, and appeared with Prez #DJT at #WhiteHouse in 2018 alongside Kid Rock, Mike Love and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Moore also admitted to fathering “14 or 15 children” but had relationships with only a few, claiming "some of them resent me or want me to pay for them."

I just finished reading Armistead Maupin's final book in The Tales of the City series, "Mona of the Manor", released this year.

The PBS presentation of "Tales" triggered my journey to being the huge queen I am today.

It's delightful, reuniting Mona, Michael, Anna Madrigal, and others

We meet a battered southern woman accepted by a LGBTQ+ family, a transphobic lesbian, and an English manor house.
