The first biography of the popular, long-serving congressman from South Boston

Representative Gerry Studds served the Massachusetts South Shore, Cape Cod, and New Bedford congressional district from 1973 to 1997.

On the floor of Congress, Studds courageously declared that he was a gay man - becoming the US's first openly gay member of Congress.
