From My Gay Eye: 

Gay passion unfolds as a powerful response to a world full of conflict – sometimes tender, sometimes wild, but always rebellious: from the S&M poem “Please Master” by the father of the hippie movement Allen Ginsberg to Wolfgang Tillmans’ photos of carefree frolicking on the beach, from rampant Asian cowboys in the Wild West to soldiers in love in the First World War and the rediscovered porn comic “Zeno” by Thor of Sweden.

In a society that often pits people against each other, it is a radical act to choose love over war.

Artists include Yves De Brabander, Fausto, Greif Lacic, Łukasz Leja, Richard Kranzin, Slava Mogutin, Oat Montien, Rosa von Praunheim, Thor of Sweden, Wolfgang Tillmans, Andy Warlord, Miron Zownir and many more. Exclusive texts by Bitume, JD Doyle, Allen Ginsberg, Dino Heicker, Erik Leuthäuser, Brane Mozetic, Jens Rosteck, Walt Whitman, Holger Wicht, Mario Wirz and more.
