Following his first highly successful documentary ‘How To Survive A Plague’ which deservedly won him an Oscar Nomination, filmmaker David France has now turned his attention to the mystery surrounding the death of legendary NY drag queen and activist Marsha P. Johnson for his sophomore movie. With the help of Victoria Cruz who was about to retire from the NY Anti-Violence Project, they try to get to the truth of what really happened to this stalwart of the Gay Liberation movement who was a central figure in the Stonewall riots.
Zachary Zane is a charismatic queer man who is something of a sexpert. He writes several different magazine columns about it, or otherwise (in his own words) is having a lot of really great sex.
Zane has also just written a new book, Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto in which he articulates that, even today, we live in a world that shames people for the sex that they have and the sexualities that they inhabit. Through the lens of his bisexuality and self-described sluttiness, he breaks down exactly how this sexual shame negatively impacts the sex and relationships in our lives, and through his personal experience, he shares how we can unlearn the harmful, entrenched messages that society imparts to us.
Queerguru caught up with this ebullient and quick-witted man to talk about his funny and fascinating story who has insured that Boyslut is a book that you will not want to put down

When a young Tony Maretta left Meadville, Pennsylvania and turned up in Los Angeles in the early 1990’s he was looking for the golden age of Hollywood which had long passed. So rather than just focus on acting he managed to pursue his dream and became a film historian, writer, and presenter. He not only found his passion but he also soon found success. With a packed resume that included hosting CBS Home Video’s award-winning presentations of Lucille Ball’s renowned television series, The Lucy Show: he has done several commentaries for Warner Home Video, and has been an advisor for Turner Classic Movies.
