Sodomy Gods

Raw, provocative, and unflinchingly honest, Sodomy Gods is the coming-of-age story of David Lauterstein, a young gay man finding his way in the dizzying world of 1990s New York City.

From coming out amidst the devastation of the AIDS crisis, to falling in love and launching the iconic queer fashion brand Nasty Pig, David's journey is one of self-discovery, resilience and the revolutionary power of queer identity and community. His path takes readers across various subcultures, through moments of activist rage, and into today's White House. The stories he shares comprise a time capsule of daunting challenges and unexpected triumphs.

Both a searing cultural commentary and a tender love story, Sodomy Gods pulses with the energy of the club scene, sparkles with David's signature wit, and inspires with the message that one's truth, no matter how uncomfortable or transgressive, is always worth fighting for. Poignant, erotic, and brimming with hard-won wisdom, David's story announces a bold new voice in queer storytelling.
