Hollywood was always a mag for bohemians and liberal md people – long before beg gay was legal. There are many excellent gay bars and clubs Los Angel.

LA’s ma hub of LGBTIQ+ activy, and the cy’s “gayborhood”, is Wt Hollywood…which is technilly s own cy. While WeHo is the ma gayborhood, Silver Lake has long been home to the alternative queer scene. Gngier, younger, and more diverse amongst those who intify as other-than-gay, Silver Lake has a lot gog on and has bee one of LA’s olt neighborhoods.

Currently, ’s a rtrant and bar that don’t ter specifilly to the gay crowd (although do have a highly-regard menu that clus crab tarte and flat iron steak) but back on December 31, 1966, the bar ma history.

Throughout his life, he drew thoands of hyper-mascule yet homoerotic (and very well-endowed) sketch of men and beme one of the earlit-known overtly gay artists history. At the time, Tom and other artists and photographers were sharg their art through a magaze lled Physique Pictorial, which billed self as a bodybuildg-appreciatn magaze, but realy, was a way to discreetly distribute homoerotic pictur and drawgs.

On top of the art, TOM Hoe giv visors an -pth look to his life, as well as the history of erotic and homoerotic art.

After all, this is ground base for the entertament dtry, and ’s relatively mon to spot a "Drag Race" queen (out of drag, of urse) or Hollywood name (maybe openly gay, maybe more discreetly so) while imbibg a drk at a Wt Hollywood gay bar, soakg sun at a gay-iendly beach, takg a gay stand-up edy show, or wanrg around laid-back hipster hood, Silver Lake, or Beverly Hills. (and y, spottg celebri like gay Olympic diver Tom Daley and his Osr-wng hband, Dt Lance Black).
