Gay novels. The ones with pictures of a leather-wearing biker leaning against a lamppost, one foot propped up, while a sailor in full uniform looks on hungrily from the street corner. If the cover wasn't enough to cue potential readers to the salacious material waiting to titillate just past the cover art, the titles did: Gay on the Range ("Back when men were men...more or less), ("Rod was every wino's") Skid Row Sweetie, Hot Pants Homo ("Women lusted after this handsome, virile jazzman...It took him years of agony to realize he wanted a man").
