Luke Oliver has just come out of the closet and confronts a brave new world - a meeting of the Gay and Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboro (GLAABS) - your run of the mill, gay political caucus. Run of the Mill? . . . my @$$. Stepping across the threshold of the Otterson estate exposes Luke to horny and hilarious shenanigans that give the Boys in the Band a run for its money. Who wants whom? Who has whom? Who will win Luke's . . . let's say, attentions?

A self-effacing, comic romp through the Gay hierarchy, Cutting the Cheese is a reality check from the author's provocative coming out experience in a drizzled-pink world If your funny bone needs tickling and you don’t mind seeing yourself in the mirror, pick up your knife and join the Cheddar Brigade — only, watch how you slice and dice it. This gang is fussy about size. It's every one for themself in New Birch's Gay Ghetto. To Hell with Robert's Rules of Order.

Review by: Rigby Taylor on Jan. 23, 2013 :
The tale is well written and edited - no complaints there, but my attention wandered off after the unlikeable bitchy queens demanded someone cut the trillionth piece of cheese and I never discovered what it was all about - or if it was about anything really. Perhaps if I had identified with, or liked one of the characters, and enjoyed that sort of gay banter...

This book was mildly entertaining but I kept waiting for the story to begin - alas it never really did (at least to me). I did liked the characters and I think this book would have greatly benefited from being a longer book with more storyline.

Poor Luke Oliver. He is young. He is successful. He has just come out of the closet and has been invited to a meeting of the Gay and Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboro (GLAABS).
GLAABS is gay political causus that while the gays and lesbians butt heads, the newbie members clearly go to the heirarchy of GLAABS by doing the meanial work of cutting and setting up cheese and goodies served at the meetings. It is not a pretty job, but you surely can get the scoop on all the members of the group. And a room filled with so many types of cheese gets pretty ripe after a while.
Luke invited a date, but he will be late. In the meantime, he sees someone he has admired from afar.
The hilarious banter between Gays and Lesbians will have you laughing out loud, as you will feel how out of place Luke is starting to feel.
Perhaps just having Luke be Luke and not what an organization of clubbers turned partygoers want him to be would be the way to go. But Luke, like all of us, straight or gay, needs to find out for himself.
Although I am into Mr. Patterson's wonderful Jade Owl Series and the companion Sister series, there has never been a book I've read of his that is not written to the T's and whatever the genre plain wonderfully good reading.
An interesting experience to those of us uninitiated, but you'll love all the characters and be able to say you know some of them in your office, or church or, oh my! another organization you belong to!
A fun read!
