330 .. $a "Randy Shilts is often named as the first openly gay reporter to earn a full-time
reporting position for a major daily newsp-aper. He is regularly included in the ranks
of America's most important journalists-turned-author, and his books, And the Band
Played On and The Mayor of Castro Street, had a clear impact on America. Andrew Stoner
reveals that, while Shilts's arrival at The San Francisco Chronicle did not make him
the first gay reporter at a major daily, he did have a prolific and distinctive writing
career matched by few. Shilts's focus on issues related to the role of gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgendered people in society paved the way for a relentless drive
to focus political, clinical and societal attention on the rising tide of HIV and
AIDS. Reporter functions revealed by Shilts reveal a commitment to exerting a strong
journalistic influence over society and media consumers to help further understanding
and advancement of homosexual liberation while personal and professional interviews
reveal Shilts's work as both a reporter and noted author were heavily influenced by
his open attitudes about disclosure of his sexual orientation from the start of his
career and his desire to explain or unpack aspects of gay culture, and ultimately
the AIDS crisis, to heterosexual audiences. His personal transparency related to his
sexuality, however, stood in marked contrast to his carefully constructed closet to
conceal his own HIV infection. Stoner carefully examines the posthumous critique of
Shilts's work, including a malevolent relationship existing between Shilts and other
gay journalists, authors and leaders, particularly around his presentation of the
so-called "Patient Zero" to explain the AIDS pandemic"--Provided by publisher
