Publisher Description: Angels, Liars and Thieves Boston 1946-2000 Book One: to 1946 to 1984 a Memoir by David Scondras, the first openly-gay elected Boston City Councilor It will come as no surprise that I dedicate this book to Robert Krebs who has spent the past 37 years living with me trying to help make our society a better place and who is my family. He taught me how to see the world from the point of view of a Methodist raised in Iowa, North Dakota, and California. Difficult for me, a radical Greek raised in Lowell, Massachusetts who thought another Greek Massachusetts politician, Michael Dukakis, was too conservative. This book explores my origins, how I became political, and how I came out as a gay man in Boston over the period of the 1960s through the 1980s. |
