And say hi to Joyce
America's first gay column comes out
by Deb Price and Joyce Murdoch
- 1 Want to read
Deb Price and Joyce Murdoch are the first gay couple to enter many an American home. They breeze through the front door, courtesy of daily newspapers from Palm Springs to Niagara Falls. Whether newspaper readers are appalled or delighted to discover an openly lesbian columnist trying to strike up a conversation, they find themselves drawn to Deb's words week after week as she injects a long-overdue gay perspective into mainstream journalism.
Deb and Joyce join forces in these pages, not just to share the first twenty months of Deb's award-winning column and the inspiring story of its birth, but to tell the touching tale of how the column is changing lives by knocking down barriers that set people apart.

Work Description
"Deb Price and Joyce Murdoch have guts. Their love for each other--and their commitment to proving the validity and humanity of that love--is, in their hands, a powerful and wonderful weapon. Long may they wield it."--Liz Smith, The Advocate
This collection from the Detroit News columns of Deb Price blends the best of Bombeck, Maupin, and Quindlen, gently humanizing gay issues for straight readers and giving gay readers an honest reflection of their own lives. Deb joins forces with Joyce here to share not only in the joy of the first twenty months of Deb's columns but also to tell how the column is changing lives by knocking down barriers that set people apart. This is a reprint of a Doubleday hardcover published in June, 1995.
"And Say Hi To Joyce is both a valuable collection of an engaging columnist's work and an interesting look behind the scenes of the newspaper milieu. But it's more; it's a heartwarming portrait of what seems a remarkable relationship--one any reader, gay or straight, might envy."-- The Washington Blade
"And Say Hi To Joyce, we get the results of Price's groundbreaking experiment: a rich collection of columns that serves as a concise history of the gay rights movement in the '90s."-- San Francisco Chronicle
