JD Doyle interviewed on Left of Str8 Show

From host Scott Fullerton:

"Today my guest is author and archivist JD Doyle, calling in from Houston, Texas. JD has created an amazing archive of LGBTQ songs, artists, and Houston notables that has been cataloged by the US Library of Congress because it is such an exhaustive history of our LGBTQ culture. Today our main topic is his new book, 1981: My Gay American Road Trip. You all know I love me a good road trip and this book has it all; over 140 pictures, 300 pages and 28 states. It's a great read and snapshot into the early pre-AIDS panic, with a powerful postscript about the effects of the deadly virus since then."
