Bridgers was introduced to Strayhorn as a perspective "partner" by Mercer Ellington, son of the Duke. A straight black man in 1939 introduced these two "gay" men to one another. Anyway, a year after their meeting, both Strayhorn and Bridgers moved in together. They were describe as being very affectionate toward one another. Even more importantly, those who knew them as a couple were respectful of the two men and their relationship. Considering the time in which both men lived this is impressive in so many ways.
Coco Chanel (August 19, 1883 – January 10, 1971): http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/4124490.html
Coco Chanel opened a millinery shop in 1909, featuring refined hats whose simple design contrasted with the overwrought style of the time and presaged modern high fashion. Beginning in 1914, Chanel designed a line of clothing—usually in black, gray, and beige—that eventually included short skirts and tailored suits. Chanel had many affairs with wealthy men but she was bisexual and she shared the love for the young Niki Arrivabene with her own lover, bisexual Italian director Luchino Visconti.

Dennis Cooper is a novelist, poet, critic, editor and artist. "The Sluts is the apotheosis of a story he's been reworking for years: the elusive central character - a generic boy - appears in variation incarnations (Safe, Try) taken to dizzying heights. However, Cooper remains in control of the narrative and, while The Sluts comes close to unraveling, it never succumbs to collapse. " --Tomas Mournian. "You’re rooting for these people, you feel their heartache and lonliness." --Blair Mastbaum
