Drummer Magazine.

Gay Leather & Kink History

The Origins of Gay Leather, Rubber, and Fetish Culture

The magazine was launched in 1975 and ceased publication in April 1999 with issue 214, but was relaunched 20 years later by new publisher Jack MacCullum with editor Q Darkqwolf.

During the late 20th century, it was the most successful of the American leather magazines, and sold overseas. The publication had a major impact of spreading gay leather as a lifestyle and masculinity as a gay ideal.
