Within a Glittering Heartland

Queer American hearts aren't so different from yours. These stories are from the twisted to the sublime. Campy Mangnolia Thunderpussy tries to fit in with the hillbillies of Montana by pretending to be a mountain mama. There is even a bit of pulp fiction about two persecuted friends speeding across the country assaulting and robbing people and babbling in a drug psychosis crime spree. There lives a gay old man in a nursing home who escapes to search the streets for his lover suffering from dementia. A Native American lesbian leaves the reservation but finds herself as a jilted bride speeding on a motorcycle across California while still wearing her wedding dress. Two cowboy lovers leave the country hoping to find jobs in the big city but what they find are ornery people and rats. A runaway finally returns home after his abusive stepfather leaves his mother. You might even find a postmodern religious debate where the major religions fear to tread. All that glitters past the dust is homoeroticism.
