The holiday season is here, and we are getting in the spirit for it. We give you some great queer(ish) reads for the new season - and yes, Britney's book is among them. We also have an exclusive with author Mark S. King, who shares his memoir on living with HIV in My Fabulous Disease. Finally, we raise our glasses to the Raising the Bar Project, which not only documents the significance and history of gay bars but also creates the basis for new bars—that and so much more in the new issue of David.
