DO YOU THINK THE LIFE AND WORKS OF TOM OF FINLAND QUALIFY HIM AS A GAY HERO?

 

“To this small Midwestern boy, he’s indeed a gay hero. Growing up in a time when gay was not cool or remotely acceptable, I stumbled upon Tom of Finland images in magazines and on walls at dirty bookstores. My shame-based and less-than perception of myself shifted to a power-filled strength and girth and a dream to become valued, free to love and lust whomever I wanted.”  -Tom Pardoe
