Based on some recent incidents, let me reiterate: If you are the owner of a photo that appears on this site and wish it removed, you don’t need to get all legal and send threatening letters and takedown notices; just email me with the photo’s URL or leave a comment on the offending post and I will gladly remove it.
In other words…

You’re a bad man. You’re a very bad man!
Irreverent, independent, and often snarky partnered married gay boomer and doggie dad who is tired of moral pontification by hypocritical conservative assholes and hate filled religious bigots.
This blog is NSFW and intended for adults only.
It may contain unapologetically liberal diatribes and photos of naked men, either alone or together, doing things that may cause inexplicable erections among certain sanctimonious anti-gay Republican congressmen. In addition to my personal photography, images displayed here have been pulled from the internet.
HisCo Disco! Connection! Hotbods! Ramrod! The memories, they come flooding back. I mostly liked the patio (and maze) at Ramrod. Too bad it’s under yards of concrete and the Stack I-17/I-10 interchange now. One you left out: the Erotica Motel, at 52nd St and VanBuren. ABS, arcade, sleazy movie theaters. The Motorola people (now ON) at that huge complex just north of there used to call it Building E.
It’s 108 degrees F here today; you miss it, don’t you?
I wish that I could say that I knew these places, but I was not here when they existed. I can claim to have been to the Graduate once or twice before it was torn down to build student apartments. That’s all I got.
Homer, you are truly a treasure to our community. I found these in the archives of the Tucson Observer.
I donated my collection of Arizona LGBT material (newspaper articles, magazines, newsletters, and other items) to the Arizona Historical Society and they recently catalogued it- the first collection of its type to be included in their massive collections. Although it isn’t enormous, at least some of our history will be preserved for future residents to see.
