Back to the Gay Future

When I was a kid, my stepfather amassed an amazing collection of science fiction magazines. He had so many that he had his room lined in bookcases to hold them all. The covers seemed to be sending me messages, hot gay messages. Most of these covers were in my stepfather's collection. Might as well start with the ne plus ultra of crypto-homo covers. Could have been one of my father's Physique Pictorials. But that's another story.

Hey, gurl. Like my globe?

This is a family website and all, so I won't go into all the combinations of fun you could have with a two-headed boyfriend. Obviously, we will wear far less clothing in the future.

This is obviously a story about a gay relationship in space that hit the skids because of too much booze and dope. Like a Galaxy of the Dolls.

This reminds me of a date I went on.

So many things going on here I may have to take a nap. Please note the cleft skullcaps.

"I swear, I shall smite you with my rod and ball if you don't stop dazzling me with those star-spangled shorts!"

"Boys! Boys! We can have a creche and a menorah."

"One more Barry Manilow song and I WILL LOSE MY SHIT!"

Nice to know that the loincloth is an eternal fashion go-to. I can't imagine a future without them.

Another great moment in future fashion: gaucho pants.

In the future, when Santa dies, he will be replaced by his very intimate friend, Gus.

We are always up for a hairy ape, but what is this Dianetics thing? Is it the science of Diane von Fürstenburg?

"I told you, it's not a scoop-neck, it's a bateau neckline!"

Too much gay for one magazine cover. Please move on.

Um, recruiting for what? Man can?

Giant spiders, Glinda the Good Witch in her nightgown, and me with half my blouse torn apart. Just another night of restless dreams, kids. Means nothing at all.

Zork was certain that the other men were admiring his giant biceps. Little did he know they were in the final planning phase of Zork's eyebrow tweezer intervention.

Folk bears in space. Possibly sans pants.

Call you Joe? I'll call you darling, darling.

His silver ciré space suit challenged his sibilant S's.

Nothing to see here, folks. Just your basic ripped underwear and alien probe fantasy. Keep moving along. And yes, "Other Space" means just what you think.
