When I hired him as the freelance and official house-photographer for Drummer, he became his own eyewitness inside Drummer. Considering my fifty-year career in gay writing, people have asked me a hundred times why I never bought Drummer. What was there to buy? Its one-word name was all Drummer had to sell. That, and an insa- tiable deadline that had to be fed every thirty days or the magazine would starve and die. Everything else existed upstairs over a vacant lot. Despite Embry’s dodgy masthead claims, I reckoned there were no legally regis- tered trademarks for sale, no filing cabinets spilling over with a backlog of good stories and photos and drawings panting to be published, no legal paperwork identifying what publishing rights, and republishing rights, had been bought from contributors who were mostly pseudonymous and lost ©Jack Fritscher, Ph.D., All Rights Reserved—posted 03-16-2017 HOW TO LEGALLY QUOTE FROM THIS BOOK 252 Gay Pioneers: How Drummer Shaped Gay Popular Culture 1965-1999 to history, no model identification documents or signed releases, and no mail-order business. -
Ñácate Las Catacumbas Un Templo Del Ojete1
Gayle S. Rubin, Las Catacumbas… ñácate Las Catacumbas Un templo del ojete1 Gayle S. Rubin Traducción: Nahuel Orquera Marcelo Real Cuando escuché por primera vez sobre Las Catacumbas, el nombre me evocó imágenes de las tumbas subterráneas de la antigua Roma, donde los primeros cristianos se refugiaban escapando de la persecución del Estado para practicar su religión, con la mayor reserva posible, de forma clandestina. Las Catacumbas [the Catacombs] de San Francisco fue un local underground similar donde los herejes sexuales del siglo XX pudieron practicar sus propios ritos y rituales de la forma lo más alejada posible de las miradas curiosas u hostiles2. Las Catacumbas tuvo un papel fundamental en la historia de la sexualidad en San Francisco. Siendo una de las “capitales” leather [del inglés, “cuero”] del mundo, San Francisco tuvo en relación con esto un comienzo algo tardío. Los primeros clubes de motociclistas y bares leather gay aparecieron a mediados de los 50 en Nueva York, Los Ángeles y Chicago. El primer bar leather de San Francisco, el Why Not, abrió en 1962 en el barrio de Tenderloin, pero al poco tiempo cerró. El primer bar leather local realmente exitoso a principios de los sesenta, fue el Tool Box: ubicado en la calle 4, número 399, en Harrison, fue también el primer bar leather de San Francisco ubicado en South of Market. San Francisco no había tenido poblaciones3 leather tan numerosas como otras ciudades más grandes de Estados Unidos (Nueva York, Los Ángeles o Chicago), pero una combinación casual de factores a nivel local ‒entre los que se encuentran: tradiciones de libertinaje sexual y tolerancia social, características demográficas de los distritos electorales y la particular economía y fisonomía de ciertos vecindarios‒ contribuyeron a la emergencia en San Francisco de uno de los territorios leather más vastos, diversos y visibles del mundo. -

Author's Foreword
Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer 83 Foreword by the Author SOME DANCE TO REMEMBER. SOME DON’T. Toward an Autobiography of Drummer Magazine “Of course I have no right whatsoever to write down the truth about my life, involving as it naturally does the lives of so many other people, but I do so urged by a necessity of truth-telling, because there is no living soul who knows the complete truth; here, may be one who knows a section; and, there, one who knows another section; but to the whole picture not one is initi- ated.” — Vita Sackville-West, Portrait of a Marriage LET’S START AT THE VERY BEGINNING . MY ZERO DEGREES OF SEPARATION (MAP INCLUDED) Allegedly. In the vertigo of memory, I write these eyewitness objective notes and subjective opinions allegedly, because I can only analyze events, manu- scripts, and how we people all seemed together, and not the true hearts of persons. As I said to Proust nibbling on his madeleine, “How pungent is the smell of old magazines.” Drummer is the Rosetta Stone of leather heritage. Drummer published its first issue June 1975. What happened next depends on whom you ask. Before history defaults to fable, I choose to write down my oral eye- witness testimony. Readers might try to understand the huge task of writing history that includes the melodrama of one’s own life lived in the first post-Stonewall decade of gay publishing and gay life. The Titanic 1970s were the Gay Belle Epoque of the newly possible. ©Jack Fritscher, Ph.D., All Rights Reserved—posted 05-05-2017 HOW TO LEGALLY QUOTE FROM THIS BOOK 84 Jack Fritscher, Ph.D. -
