If you listened to drag queens, you’d think that them and Valerie Solanis were the only ones that ever did anything after Stonewall . You know who they’re trying to erase? GAY HIPPIES.
Yes, it’s true! Once upon a time, in places that weren’t even San Francisco, gay hippies ruled the revolutionary world. They wore no clothes and formed “liberation fronts,” but later decamping to semi-utopian, semi-erect communities in Tennessee (which made it easier for drag queens to erase them from the history books). Which is too bad, because unlike drag queens and HRC members, they did not get lipstick on your dick or make you buy them a drink of cocaine.
Also, a lot of them were highly fuckable.

Someone want to tell me why every form of gay activism has to incorporate nudity? How the fuck will anyone take us seriously and stop thinking of us as perverts if we don’t keep our goddamn clothes on and stop fucking in the streets?
I live in absolute terror, any time I see photos of this era, that I’m going to see one of my aunts doing something shady.
Adam Killian looks really good when you can’t see his eyes!
One of the pluses of being a gay hippie was all the straight dudes who had to get their bisexual ticket punched to be acceptable to the feminists.

Love that picture of Adam Killian. Where did he take it, cause that place looks like a lot of fun.?
I am obsessed with the cock on that last one.
I love the idea of a hippie, much like I like the idea of a pet monkey, but in the end you just know it is going to be this foul smelling, hairy, little howler that eats all your fruit, doesn’t make any money, and then hurls shit at you when it doesn’t get its way.
Much like skater boys, just grab em by the back of the neck and squirt em with a little febreze! They’re FINE then!
Love this. Answer is yes. Not that much different looking from a Brooklyn hipster.
lol adam killian! i just love him more and more as time goes by!
A toast to them, and a belated thanks!
