"Lessons learned about love and death, sex and sin, and saving the best for last." The Old Gays have taken TikTok by storm with their viral videos, by turns outrageous and hilarious, fashionable and fierce. But as four gay men, aged from 67 to 80, the wild one Mick, the peaceful one Jessay, the glue Robert, and the bon vivant Bill have lived through decades of momentous change, and they've got stories that take more than three minutes to tell. They grew up in the closet, experienced Stonewall, lived large during the gay sexual liberation and revolution, lost friends during the AIDS crisis, dealt with their own HIV+ diagnoses, and saw gay marriage became legal. Between them, they've been through it all - divorce, depression, bankruptcy, near-death experiences. And then there's the dinner parties, the nudism, the professional bodybuilding and health, the orgies and the matter of church, and TikTok stardom, never say die and happiness. These are the tales - sometimes scandalous, sometimes profound, sometimes heart-breaking - that only an older gay man can tell, everything from starting over, finding happiness or just injecting a little more fun into proceedings. It's good to know someone's been there before, and they're more than happy to give their best, bawdiest, most hard-won advice. These best friends all live in Cathedral City, California. 242 pages, eight pages of photographs on bright pink paper.
