But Jackie is, and most of the people he meets are. All Gays Are Promiscuous: Well, not all.Cookbook (I am not making any of this up!)īy and large considered to be notable mostly inasmuch as being one of the first queer novels published before Stonewall, but they're pretty fun of their own right too, despite being written in a few days each, and some of the prose being kind of rough.Īfter these being out of print for a very long time, anthology collections are starting to come out-hooray! Sex and the Single Gay, a self-help book (no, really).With the help of his burly assistant Rich and whatever poor sorry straight INTERPOL stuck him with, Jackie foils thieves and crime rings, flounces around and is generally fabulous, and always manages to seduce his partner in the end. Specifically, he's employed full-time by a clandestine organization known as C.A.M.P., dedicated to the protection and advancement of homosexuals everywhere. He is also a Bugatti mechanic, an expert on diamonds, an expert marksman, and a spy. Jackie Holmes is a swishy, wealthy gay man living in California in the 1960s.

Banis under the pseudonym of Don Holliday, shortly before Stonewall. One of the first gay pulp fiction series, an Affectionate Parody of James Bond and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
