Andy Warhol was queer in more ways than one. A fabulous queen, a fan of prurience and pornography, a great admirer of the male body, he was well known to the gay audiences who enjoyed his films. This title demonstrates that to ignore Warhol's queerness is to miss what is valuable, interesting, sexy, and political about his life and work.
