Straight female author writes book about the suicide of her gay bestie

Her best friend was Russell Perreault, whom Crosley identifies in the book exclusively by his first name. The head of publicity at Knopf's Vintage paperback division, Russell hired Crosley in 2004, when she was 25 and he was 37. Perreault took his own life in 2019 at the age of 52.

I was thinking they could do a one night Will and Grace special with this story

Here's Russell's obituary. It mentions he had a husband, Reed Maroc.

Jesus. The continual misogynist vitriol . Maybe she was just a friend who missed him. You seem to think that straight women are biologically incapable of friendship — using disgusting epithets like “ gashes.”

For decades people have dehumanized gay men . You do know that right ?

Your mother was/ is a woman . I’m a straight woman . So hate me, belittle me, take out all your anger at yourself and the world on me . Feel better now ?

I heard it was because he was an intactivist.

Many authors write about their own experiences. I guess you’ve never noticed this. Or do not read books.

I'm sorry he killed himself, but all the intactivists I know (I have an outspoken female one in my Jewish family) have seemed off-balance in some deep way--the inactivism is simply a symptom of some sense of lack or indignation. Yes, I know we rail against "female circumcision/female genital mutilation." They just aren't the same as male circumcision.
