You see, as a gay man, I’ve lived through the toxic shame of beg gay, beg attracted to men, havg sex wh men not to mentn body shame.

Much like many gay men, I’ve always been hugely spired by the hyper mascule athetic of Tom Of Fland’s art. Havg e of age the 80s, I unrstood the need to prent as hyper-mascule as a way to pensate for beg gay but as much as I was turned on by the leather man athetic, I was too riddled wh shame about sex to embrace . BILLI me out as a gay man when I was 25, and has taken me this long to feel where I f the world.

LEATHER GAY - NAHKAHOMO

Not jt as gay men but ever evolvg souls. At a young age I didn’t know that I was gay but what I did know was everythg around me was tellg me that I shouldn’t be feelg the way I do.

GAY LEATHER GEAR

JAREDI never felt that I was a great match for most gay bars/clubs but I realized that the plac that I was weled wh open arms, saw a great sense of muny, and felt seen has always been the "Eagl" of the world.

For a mixed race young gay man om a nservative background and relig upbrgg, this acceptance was unprecented.

While we hold tradns that are stemmed om a long history wh stggl both wh and outsi the gay muny at large, we know the future belongs to the youth, the pups, the kks.

For all of my adult life, I suffered om the toxic shame of beg a gay man. Beg a gay man who’s now nearg 60yrs of age, and who me out NYC the 80s, wearg leather always tak me back to my early years when I would go to the Sat At Large events at 105 Send Avenue and to unrground spac like the St Marks Baths and The Anvil. It is one part of the gay muny where age and experience are seen as strengths.

Jt as I did wh my inty as a gay man and a bear, I did jt about everythg I uld to avoid beg open about and kept that part of me stifled. I me out as a gay man when I was 25… and has taken me this long to feel where I f the world.

They are the most exceptg men and women the gay muny.
