Frightening The Horses: Gay Icons of the Cinema - Eric Braun

This book is a personal journey through a century of gay-themed cinema. Eric Braun's candid and illuminating chronicle reaches back to his cinemagoing in the silent era and includes his own experiences with many legendary icons of the silver screen.

He traces the cinema's gay and lesbian heritage from the uncensored extremes of the Roaring Twenties, through the repressive regime of Hollywood's Production Code, to the camp extravaganzas of the sixties.

Along the way, Braun offers fascinating, and frequently hilarious, profiles of numerous stars idolized by gay audiences, from Mae West to Madonna.
