Have you read Committed by Dan Matthews? It is a wonderful book and I'm about half way through it. It's a great read on his life, sexuality, and role in the early days of PETA. I laugh out loud so much while reading it and even get teary eyed at parts. :)
I've never heard of it! Thanks, I'll look into it.
I just checked, Denver Public Library has it. I'm on the wait list :)
