Show Notes
Dennis is joined via Zoom by Mark S. King for Part 2 of their conversation about Mark's new book My Fabulous Disease as well as his previous memoir A Place Like This. In Part 2, Mark talks about building massive box kites with his father, how his father encouraged risk-taking in life and how surviving the AIDS crisis prepared him to deal with his father's passing. Mark also talks about one of his most widely-read columns; about the popular 2004 bareback porn film Dawson's 20-Load Weekend and what it said about gay culture at that time. He also talks about the column where he imagined going shopping for socks with the legendarily confrontational writer and activist Larry KramerĀ and then hearing from Kramer himself. Other topics include: meeting and marrying his husband Michael, being settled, monogamous and 'right-sized,' the strangest place he's ever been recognized and the thrill of having Elton John and David Furnish sing him Happy Birthday...in harmony, no less. www.myfabulousdisease.com
