As a performer CHRISTEENE delivers sexual, in-your-face commentary, infusing “drag terrorism” with non-heteronormative gender roles and sex. It was a relaxing poolside afternoon where we discussed indigenous two-spirit heritage and getting back into the real world.

While many publications made being a gay man a sin, or something to exist only in the shadows or under the counter of a magazine store, Tom and his characters were willing to be out, horny, and happy enough for everybody.

This Catalan city is hosting a new show looking at relationships between men, seeking to tell the story of the romantic and sexual reality of those who spend their lives at sea.

While Pride is celebrated each June to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in New York City, take some time to also appreciate the rich history of LGBTQ activism in Los Angeles.

Tom’s drawings were not merely products of his imagination; part of their appeal lay in their intimate expressions, which were drawn from reference photos that Tom took of hundreds of men over the years.
