Is there such a thing as an American gay culture--a set of styles, values, and behaviors that arises not from ethnicity or religion but from sexual orientation? How is that culture transmitted? And how is it likely to survive the depradations of homophobia and AIDS? These questions are explored by Browning, a reporter for NPR.

FRANK BROWNING is a writer and contributor to National Public Radio. He is the author of five books, including Apples: The Story of the Fruit of Temptation, recipient of a 1999 IACP Julia Child Award.
