John Paul Hudson (March 21, 1929 – February 18, 2002[1]) was an American gay activist, writer, and actor.
He was also known by the pseudonym John Francis Hunter, a name under which Hudson wrote early gay travel guides for the United States.
In spite of this apparent celebration of promiscuity, John Paul advocated total celibacy as being the responsible behavior required by the times during the AIDS crisis of the following decade.
This novel/screenplay was a murder-mystery romp based on the premise of a Bette Midler-styled drag queen being murdered at a bathhouse modeled after the Continental Baths in New York.
[9] Hudson appeared on New York's The Emerald City gay television talk show on July 1, 1978, along with Grace Jones.
