    • 1988 April 9, Gordon Gottlieb, “The Urban Gay Camp and Croon”, in Gay Community News, page 11:
      What is it about gay men that they're so often linked with musical revue in a cabaret milieu? Is it the intimate ambience — more intime, more revealing — than larger stage productions? Is there more room for specialized acts that need not draw a larger (read straighter) crowd?
