  Terrance Dean, a former executive at music channel MTV, has penned a memoir of his life and times in the hip hop industry as a gay man. It is an explosive exposé of a thriving gay subculture in an aggressively male business, where anti-gay lyrics and public homophobia are common.

  Perhaps not surprisingly, many in the industry are nervous about the book's publication this week, fearing that it will expose some of the superior black names in music and Hollywood as secretly gay. But Dean said that his memoir was not intended as a way of outing famous people. 'I was never tempted to name any names. The novel is not about outing people.

  From his last interview with Fantastic Man:

  [quote] Tyler notices a strikingly handsome assistant in the store as we leave. “He was gorgeous,” he says, to no one in particular. “Did you see his lovely eyes?”

  [quote] During the trip to 0FR., he winds down the window, recognizing another model-esque, slim blond man walking aimlessly, artfully across the street. “This is fucking crazy,” he says, wowed by the vision before him. “Look at what the fuck is going on. This is insane. This is fucking insane. Why didn’t we...? What the fuck...? Where were they yesterday? Oh, shit, this is fucking crazy. What is going on?” He asks if it’s fashion week.
