#1 I was in a men-only room with my companion, the Famous Blue Raincoat. We’d been domestic for years. It seemed difficult to understand why two men who were happy with each other would take the risk of going to these places where the atmosphere would tend to drive them apart.

#2 I had determined myself into that pace. I had not gone upstairs to be anything but another ghost. I went out to get some. On certain evenings, Famous and I intuit we’re going to end up in such a place without the need for discussion.

#3 I went to a gay club with some friends. We were not dancing, but the DJ was building up propulsive tracks, throbbing and hissing. I turned my cap backwards so the brim wouldn’t impede my access to the blond’s full shaft. I wanted my snout buried as much as anything else.

#4 Queer sites have long been the target of police monitoring, and The Bar was no exception. masculinity had been twisted into something perverted, but still functioned to banish effeminacy.

#1

I was in a men-only room with my companion, the Famous Blue Raincoat. We’d been domestic for years. It seemed difficult to understand why two men who were happy with each other would take the risk of going to these places where the atmosphere would tend to drive them apart.

#2

I had determined myself into that pace. I had not gone upstairs to be anything but another ghost. I went out to get some. On certain evenings, Famous and I intuit we’re going to end up in such a place without the need for discussion.

#3

I went to a gay club with some friends. We were not dancing, but the DJ was building up propulsive tracks, throbbing and hissing. I turned my cap backwards so the brim wouldn’t impede my access to the blond’s full shaft. I wanted my snout buried as much as anything else.

#4

Queer sites have long been the target of police monitoring, and The Bar was no exception. masculinity had been twisted into something perverted, but still functioned to banish effeminacy.

#5

The Bar had been open for less than a year when it was threatened with closure. The name of a gay bar, Stonewall, provides the metonym for gay liberation. But activists claim that gay bars should be kept open to facilitate knowledge passing between generations.
