We fondly remember a time when DRUMMER magazine would fly off our shelves! Former editor-in-chief, author, professor, and activist Jack Fritscher delves into this influential gay leather/BDSM magazine that “helped create the very culture that it reported on.” This important magazine survived 24 years, from 1975-1999, and has completely shaped gay leather subculture. A fascinating, long overdue exploration of a different time and a thriving subculture unknown to many 👍🏼✨♥️ #unabooksprideallyear #jackfritscher #gayleather #gayleathermen #drummermagazine

This is so sad and maddening coming from the New York Times editor; most criticism came from actual, working journalists. The story’s flaws were startlingly clear. pic.twitter.com/HXf8IS4CF2

Yes, it’s odd, because it’s not the job of reporters to remind their audience about God, even though the media is filled with stories assuming Christianity, miracles, the power of prayer and all other manner of unverified nonsense. pic.twitter.com/5PcXJqx8bc
