GAY MEN AND BODY PERFECTN
The queer muny is credibly diverse appearance, but certa styl stand out: lbians flannel shirts; gays glter; and a whole variety of tattoos, piercgs, and alternative hairstyl.
Ward was a gay man who had learned to pierce as part of the BDSM and leather muny, and when his shop opened, that same muny formed the largt part of his ctomers and employe. Along wh two other gay men, he veloped and popularised many typ of piercg, spired by kk and Indigeno cultur (which has led to criqu about the fetishisatn of cultural practic). At a time when gay sex was crimalised and genr nonformy pathologised, queer people were assertg their right to bodily tonomy; to do what they wanted to and wh their bodi, whout shame or persecutn.
Kky gays found the morn piercg dtry, and eventually, through punks and other subcultur, brought to mastream populary. Heavy sleeve tattoos and buzz cuts are tradnally the doma of burly mascule men, but no gay bar is plete whout a nsely rated queer woman.
