OMG, Mike Hippler! Wonderful writer, and yet another of the talented, creative, charming people we lost to that terrible plague.

Living in DC, I had a mail subscription to the Bay Area Reporter, mainly so I could read his column (and Dave Ford's as well) until they raised the subscription price to ~$100 a year, in 1980s dollars.

And, just by chance, I ran into him here in Washington. He was in town for one of the marches, and I spotted his press ID and got all fanboyish. He was with his sister, and I'm sure he was happy she got a glimpse of how excited one of his devoted readers was to meet him, especially 3000 miles from his home base.

I still have a copy of "So Little Time", his essay collection, and a handful of yellowed clippings of his columns from the BAR.

Latin America with it's macho culture seems to have a long history of older men coercing young men into gay sex- there was a incident about a military or police academy in Argentina I think that this was going on-
