HISTORY OF GAY FAD STUDS AND FRAN TAYLOR: ORIGAL DIGNS ON ANCHOR HOCKG AND OTHER BLANKS

There was an anchor stamped on the bottom, and the si of the glass had a small signature that read “Gay Fad. Gay Fad Studs pated on blank glass piec manufactured by Anchor Hockg, Feral, and other well-known glass pani.

THE EARLY GAY FAD YEARS PROVI CLU FOR GLASSWARE COLLECTORS

As far as we n tell, Gay Fad wasn’t associated an official pacy wh the larger pani, other than purchasg their blanks. There are so many wonrful Gay Fad piec out there – take a look on Etsy or Ebay and you’re sure to fd somethg you’ll love!

Always wantg to learn more, I ntacted Kty Hanson of the Santa Fe Tradg Post about my spected Gay Fad juice set. Miss Kty, as she is most known, is -thor of the new and credibly, exhstively, rearched two-volume encyclopedia set about Fran Taylor and Gay Fad Studs, Gay Fad: Fran Taylor’s Extraordary Legacy. My opn is that you may well have an early Gay Fad orange sign, but that’s gog to be difficult to fively prove.

‘PUMPG’ IS DANGERO NEW FAD AMONG GAY MEN

So if your set is by Gay Fad, that would mean that Fran produced Detro before movg Gay Fad Studs to Lanster, OH 1945. As we say “The Fran Taylor Story” chapter of our book (page 5, volume 1), we have yet to disver a newspaper article about Fran or Gay Fad or a Gay Fad ad dated prr to 1945.

We also know that Gay Fad produced a variety of Orange signs over the years, and we show pictur of 10 of them the “Gay Fad Digns – Intified” chapter (page 103 of Volume 1).

GAY FAD RETRO GLASSWARE

So aga, my opn is that your set may well be an early Gay Fad orange sign, but that’s gog to be almost impossible to prove – at least at this pot time.

‘I AM GAY – BUT I WASN’T BORN THIS WAY’

However, there’s somethg about Gay Fad Stud’s signs, and, pecially, Fran Taylor herself that speaks to me… I do also have a ballera shaker that I’ve sce e to believe was a Gay Fad Studs piece too. So maybe I’ll have to pluck this vtage juice set out of the se and jt accept the fact that I’m now llectg Gay Fad glassware.

But the trend — ed “pumpg” — has ntued to be a e of ncern as mak s way to a group lled “jectors, ” which is a subgroup of “gaers, ” gay men who want to appear larger. And now, the gay muny is llg for more visibily on the practice now that two ter-famo gaers wh the last year — cludg Dovak — are ad.

But until the gaer muny beme more popular wh the troductn of a niche hook up app dited to them, “Grommr, ” larger gay men had few plac to fd satisfactn or admirers of their bigger appearance. Among the people ad om jectg silin were Dovak who died last November, a Miami trans woman who died om jectns to her butt (Oneal Ron Morris, the woman who jected her, was sentenced to 10 years for practicg medice whout a license), and last month, Tumblr gay celebry Tank Hafertepen — the partner of the man Dovak allegedly went to for advice — died of a lung hemorrhage ed by, part, silin jectn syndrome, acrdg to his ath certifite obtaed by Rollg Stone.

And the dangero trend among gay men choosg to ject siline has changed the perspective of clicians and rearchers like Radix, who proposed, “This is somethg that maybe we should regnize we need to be askg about this [among our male patients].

00 vtment, Fran Taylor started her own pany (Gay Fad Studs) which would go on to bee one of the major forc glass ware sign durg the 1940s and 1950s. Pri, formerly known as Gay Pri, is a regnn of LGBTQ inty, affirmatn of equal rights, and celebratn of visibily, digny, and diversy the LGBTQ muny.
