Can you provide me with a couple of contemporary gay male writers and some from Evelyn Waugh's generation. ?(And no, Evelyn Waugh is NOT related to any of the Australian cricketer's of the same name) Oh and preferably author's who write Gay Erotica. (I have already heard of Dusk Peterson).

Not to be an ***, but since this is a literature section, I'm compelled to point out that apostrophes indicate contractions, possession, and (occasionally) slang. It never, ever, ever simply means a word is plural. Gay male authors. Australian cricketers. No apostrophe's needed.
By the way, Yahoo stars out your swear words. I recommend trying it sometime.

Poppy Z. Brite is well known for wanting to be a gay man..unofortunately for her born a woman. I love how in her books all the guys come after a minute or so and then are hard again straight away..she has some men of stamina in her books.

He's not contemporary, but E.M. Forster is/was a brilliant writer.
Sorry, I know I'm mis spelling his name but Vauden {he was the resident poet of the U.N. when U Than was in charge, early 70's, I think} was also of note. He wrote of the struggle of reconciling his faith and sexuality.
Sorry I butchered the names.
