Str8ish A Memoir

Sex. Violence. Child abuse by a priest. These things and more are found in Robert Angelone's memoir, Str8ish. Covering more than sixty years of an amazing life, this autobiographical work blows open the doors on the secretive world of straight men who have sexual relationships with other men. Robert keeps his sexuality to himself. Those he has loved are principally heterosexual, a fact that has kept him safe despite an extremely active sex life. It is because of his romantic journey that he wrote this memoir, Str8ish, hoping to reveal the nature of men who have intimate, long-lasting friendships and the joys and sorrows they create.The men in Robert's later life helped him cope, though the savage molestation caused countless extreme difficulties. He can never be made whole, but he's managed to survive with close friends in support. His preference for men who are Str8ish afforded him a life filled with incredible love, amazing intimacy, and a stellar career.He discusses the nature of male sexuality, focusing on the behavior of supposedly heterosexual males engaging in homosexual acts and the actual romantic, long-term relationships that evolve. Str8ish: A Memoir describes in lurid detail the romantic behavior of his lovers and the strength of the love between them. In many cases, that love has endured for decades. Rarely does a memoir have the potential to change lives and open up a hidden behavior to public discussion.
