    Henry Gerber was the father of American gay liberation. 
    Born in 1892 in Germany, Henry Gerber was expelled from school as a boy and lost several jobs as a young man because of his homosexual activities. He emigrated to the United States and enlisted in the army for employment. After his release, he explored Chicago’s gay subculture: cruising Bughouse Square, getting arrested for “disorderly conduct,” and falling in love. He was institutionalized for being gay, branded an “enemy alien” at the end of World War I, and given a choice: to rejoin the army or be imprisoned in a federal penitentiary. 
    Gerber re-enlisted and was sent to Germany in 1920. In Berlin, he discovered a vibrant gay rights movement, which made him vow to advocate for the rights of gay men at home. He founded the Society for Human Rights, the first legally recognized US gay-rights organization, on December 10, 1924. 
    When police caught wind of it, he and two members were arrested. He lost his job, went to court three times, and went bankrupt. Released, he moved to New York, disheartened. 
    Later in life, he joined the DC chapter of the Mattachine Society, a gay-rights advocacy group founded by Harry Hay who had heard of Gerber’s group, leading him to found Mattachine.  
    An Angel in Sodom is the first and long overdue biography of the founder of the first US gay rights organization.

    "Rhythm of the Hart" is a cozy, spicy, small-town holiday romance full of queer love and joy, unapologetically sexy fat men, Star Wars puns, and Pride. 
    Kieran Hart is the band director and only queer teacher in Redplains, Texas. Under budgetary pressure from a new principal determined to push him out, he's scrambling to find a way to fund another year for his band. If he can't find the money by Christmas break, he risks losing the music program altogether. When he sees his ex, Dominic, for the first time in years, his feelings threaten to distract him from his goal. 
    Dominic Ortiz is back in Redplains near the holidays, but he's not in the mood to celebrate. He's inherited his aunt's grocery store, to the chagrin of his estranged father. He's determined to sign the store over to his dad and get out of town as quickly as possible. But when he runs into Kieran and sparks fly, he may have a reason to stay. First, he'll have to stand up to his father and conquer his fear of attachment. 
    Zach Hudson is Kieran's assistant director and best friend. He's also just confirmed he's queer - by hooking up with Dominic. As he looks at the world through his new perspective, he quickly realizes he has a crush on Dominic... and Kieran. 
    With all three men caught in each other's orbit, will the formation of this love triangle throw a wrench in all their lives? Or is there new happiness to be found for all of them together? And can the three of them united find a way to overcome discrimination and save the band by Christmas?

    Isaac: When my roommate-to-be opens the door wearing nothing but a wet towel, I know one thing for sure: my world is about to be turned upside down. A wrestling jock, a hottie, and as straight as a plank, Hunter is not the guy I should want. But all the shoulds and shouldn'ts fly out the window when it turns out that Hunter is actually a huge geek and not as straight as I thought. 
     
     
     
    The fact that my high school crush asked me to wait for him until after college only makes my problems worse. But some terrible timing and an unlocked bedroom door end up being less of a problem than the ticking clock. 
     
     
     
    Can this college-only fling really be all that I have ever wanted? 
     
     
     
    Hunter: My new roommate is a total cutie, which is the weirdest way to describe a guy when you're straight. 
     
     
     
    The more time I spend with Isaac, the less certain I am about everything I thought I knew. Either I am not myself, or I never have been. The weird thing is, I've never felt more alive. It doesn't matter, though. A no-good, terrible, horrible guy from his past leads him on with the sweetest promises and I'd be a fool to get involved. 
     
     
     
    Yet I need to have him, even if it's for a little while. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
