Behind The Purple Curtain is a gripping memoir by Walter Manuel Montano, detailing his experiences growing up in a strict Catholic household in the 1950s and 60s. The book offers a poignant and intimate portrait of a young boy's struggle to reconcile his sexuality with the expectations of his family and community. Montano's story is one of perseverance and courage, as he navigates the challenges of coming out as gay in a time when homosexuality was still widely stigmatized and misunderstood. His journey takes him from his childhood home in New Mexico to San Francisco, where he becomes involved in the city's burgeoning gay rights movement. Along the way, Montano confronts discrimination, violence, and personal tragedy, but ultimately emerges as a powerful voice for LGBTQ+ rights and social justice. Written with honesty, humor, and heart, Behind The Purple Curtain is a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love to overcome even the most daunting obstacles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
