sound of cripgay voices rising to be heard above the din of
indifference and bias, oppression and ignorance. This unique

character. Through the intimacy of one-on-one storytelling, gay men
with mobility and neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injury,
deafness, blindness, and AIDS, fight isolation from societyand each
otherto establish a public identity and a common culture. Queer
Crips features more than 30 first-hand accounts from a variety of
perspectives, illuminating the reality of the everyday struggle
disabled gay men face in a culture obsessed with conformist good

and disabled, and suffering a life-altering injury or illness in
adulthood. Co-edited by Bob Guter, creator and editor of the

performance pieces from acclaimed author and actor Greg Walloch
poetry from Chris Hewitt, Joel S. Riche, Raymond Luczak, Mark

psychotherapists in the United States and much more! Queer Crips is

candid, edgy, bold, dreamy, challenging, and sexy. The book is
