I don't mean to be rude, but who are you? What makes you qualified to
write about gay and lesbian manners? And, by the way, how are "gay"
manners different than "straight" manners? Samuel T., Los Angeles, CA

A: To start off with, I spent more than two years researching and
writing my book The Essential Book of Gay Manners and Etiquette
(HarperCollins), which definitely struck a good nerve, as did my
long-standing gay manners column in Genre magazine. I'm currently
working on a completely new edition of the book, now called The New
Gay & Lesbian Manners: Advice for LGBT Folks* (*and their families and
friends).
