"

Upon their meeting in New York in 1958: __e didn__ want to live together. We didn__ have any examples of what a good love relationship between two men could be. And there was always the problem of hiding so no one would know we were gay. There was no question that if I were known to be gay, living with another man, it would make it more difficult for me to get work as an actor._ - Alan Shayne, co-author, Double Life

"

He__ always been attracted to broken things. He was the kind of boy who talked the bad girls through their problems, who defended them and didn__ take advantage. He was sensitive to his stuffed animals_ feelings, rotating their position on his bed so that a new plush animal would occupy pride of place at his pillowside every night. Soon I became first and foremost on that pillow; princess of the island of misfit toys.

Dreaming in Night Vision: A Story in Vignettes

"

We both grew up at a time when homosexuality was not even spoken about. There were certainly no books that could help a young person understand that two people of the same sex could build a happy, productive and loving life together. When we entered our 50th year, another same sex couple told us we were __n inspiration_, so we began to feel we had the responsibility to make what we__e experienced available to others. We also wanted to show people who were not gay that our life was not unlike theirs. We are all pretty much the same, so we deserve equal protection under the Constitution.
