Almost every week for over a decade Bay Windows Arts and Entertainment editor Rudy Kikel invited members of the gay community to his home, sat them in a red chair in his window, offered a glass of water, and pulled from a standard menu of questions for an hour or two. His limited, repeating list of questions elicited unlimited and wildly varied responses; humankind was on display. They talked, he typed, took a picture, and a few days later it was in the paper. This book is a compilation of about 40 of those interviews. Along with the interviews, is an update from each interviewee of "Where they are today." These interviews are a window into a slice of history in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender communities at the end of the 20th century.
