Some years ago a gay wrer lled Ron Blute scribed his stt waerg at the Grove a very funny pamphlet, “A Wars Bohemia, ” which he evoked the below-the-stairs homosexual culture fostered by a workforce mostly reced om San Francis. Some anthropologists of Boho culture even believe that the Grove is now encircled wh gay ri-ntial suburbs that have evably spng up to ac-modate the migrants.
Of urse there are gay waers and gay bohemians too, discreetly cisg River Road, but seems that was back the 1970s thgs got somewhat out of hand. Sorry, Pl, I don’t thk ’s Guerneville’s gay-iendly reputatn we should be lookg out for. To embrace drag shows, an element of gay culture for s, is…cur.
Even former Print Richard Nixon, on one of his personal Whe Hoe rerdgs, saw the gnive dissonance, even if he didn’t exprs very eloquently, llg the drag parti “ is the most fa—y goddamned thg you will ever image” as part of a longer homophobic rant. There’s been a lot of speculatn about what go on at Bohemian Grove, and as most nspiracy vios on YouTube will tell you, ’s allegedly two weeks of the filthy rich, powerful and famo walkg around naked and fuckg each other, as well as gay male, female and child prostut. A place where Ele Perverts gather and engage homosexual activy and other forms of Debchery.

What he documented only adds further weight and credibily to prev claims that Bohemian Grove is perhaps the ultimate ‘back room’, which world and domtic policy is agreed upon the bizarre environment of dnken ivoly, homosexual prostutn, and satanic y worship. In 2004 we highlighted a New York Post article which discsed the attendance of gay porn star Chad Savage at Bohemian Grove.
