PETER BERL, THE ’70S GAY SEX SYMBOL, TAK NEW YORK

Jack Smh grabs hold of Asian-Amerin gay porn entreprenr, fns mol and sex in Peter Le – and has to be pried off him…. After explodg on to the scene 2001, Peter Le has accumulated a display bet groang wh awards for bodybuildg, mollg, gay porn productn and e-merce. Dpe havg to ph back agast prejudice (his chosen reer led to him beg abptly dropped om the st of Asian-Amerin Jersey Shore rip-off, K-Town), Le has gone on to bee the biggt Asian gay porn star history – and a cultural in Cha.

It was only by rvg out a niche, first as a solo adult performer and then as the owner of Ameri’s leadg Asian gay porn webse, that he fally created his own battleground upon which to challenge the prejudic.

“Back the 70s, when whe gay men saw two Asian men havg sex, they lled ‘lbian sex’, ” he says. Le’s wish to change the image of Asian male sexualy led to his gay porn miseri – The Asiancy – which follows a multi-ethnic group of implsibly attractive and relentlsly promiscuo entreprenrs.

GAY PORN'S MOST SHOCKG TABOO

Actually gog to Cha allowed Le to disver a pletely new gay culture which his race is as much an asset as his looks.

So, is Le gay, bi or straight? “The public wants to know whether you’re straight or gay – but they n’t fe what bi is. My straight iends thk I’m too gay and my gay iends thk I’m too straight.

He’s been to all the big gay circu parti Guangzhou, Beijg, Shanghai, and Bangkok – and now – for the first time ever, he’s cid to hold his birthday bash our cy to celebrate turng 33 and everyone is ved. His porn se,, has bee one of the most watched Asian gay porn s the world, spe Le’s refal to label or intify his sexualy.

HURLEY HAYWOOD ON LIFE AS A GAY RACG CHAMPN: 'I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MALE ROLE MOLS'

Surprisgly, the anecdote don’t appear Peter Gay’s “Mornism: The Lure of Hery, ” a massive history of the movement all s artistic forms — patg, sculpture, fictn, poetry, mic, archecture, sign, film (though, bafflgly, not photography, one of the chief talysts of the mornist revolutn). It’s all the more surprisg bee I once heard Gay ce Flbert’s droll ltle stroll a lecture, after which he brilliantly analyzed the episo’s every paradoxil nuance. If anyone is aware of the plexy of mornist attus, is Peter Gay.

” Such achievements make all the more dismayg to fd that this rich, learned, briskly wrten, madng yet necsary study, Gay’s formidable synth often n aground on laps of knowledge and judgment. Gay’s new book is the only one I’m aware of that tri to make sense of mornism all s rnatns. Gay tak up his subject om the outset of the movement the late 19th century to what he nsirs s ntued valy after World War II and s eventual ath and possible rurrectn our own time.

) But unlike Henry Moore’s giant sculptur, which negative space plays a posive role, Gay’s omissns and misprehensns cry out to be filled and rrected.
