Inhalt
A gay Adrian Mole: what do you do when you are fat, 14, obsessed with the catholic church, with Doing the Right Thing, with scones and sweets, with other boys and their private parts? Well, if you're Benson, you panic and flee, hiding from the flesh as a novice in a monastery. Alas, St Finbar's monastery is as full of temptation as the grammar school he'd left behind. The devils of desire find Benson once again and throw him back into the world from which he'd tried to escape. Returned to school, Benson is still trying to square the circle of his conflicted enthusiasms and desires. Can he be both gay and catholic? Gay and happy? »Sucking Sherbet Lemons« recounts the coming out experience of a gay man at a time when homosexual acts were illegal. Written in the late 80s, in response to those who condemned gay men in the light of the AIDS epidemic - and instated Clause 28 to end discussion of the subject - this is a powerful broadside aimed at the forces of intolerance, ignorance, and fear.
