A Brief History of Gay Porn from "Boys in the Sand" to Bel Ami
2016-05-20 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | NY
Join Kyle Renick for a lecture on the history of gay porn from 1971 to 2016 with film excerpts.

Who knew that a history of gay porn would be so popular? We’re expecting a big crowd, so we’re moving things around to accommodate more people. We’ll be clearing out the store at 5:30 and opening doors for the event at 6 pm. First come, first seated (or offered a standing position). Once we reach capacity we’ll close the door. We’ll start at 7:05 sharp! See you tonight!

Suggested donation of $5 to benefit the Bureau. No one turned away for lack of funds.
