Sister & Brother brings together thirty deeply personal narratives of loving camaraderie between gay men and lesbians. Historically, lesbians and gay men have inhabited a common forbidden zone of sexuality, especially in smaller towns where there aren't enough gathering places to allow for the gender separation in larger cities. Belying the stereotypes of butch dykes scorning sissies, and misogynistic queens turning up their noses at Minty and Marge, these true stories tell of complex and special best-friendships and mentorings, from rough days in fifties bars to a house share in eighties Northampton, Massachusetts.
