Why would mostly straight soldiers risk everything to make gay porn? Money? Curiosity? A sense of autonomy?
The higher-ups didn’t care.The fallout was brutal.

From the barracks to the backroom. From street corners to the battlefield…the spaces between hold more than we were ever told.
Sometimes it was for love. Or lust. Survival. Or daring to be.
Doesn't matter. They’ve been shamed long enough.

Alfred Kinsey didn’t study sex for titillation or shock. He did it because he was broken open by repression, silence, and his own private grief.
The latest essay:
"The Velvet Rage of Truth: What Kinsey Tried to Tell Us"📝
#Kinsey #Sexuality #Str8NoChaser #Fluidity #Identity #LGBTQHistory #Science
Before “gay” or “straight,” there was behavior. Desire. Complexity.
Alfred Kinsey saw this. He recorded it. And he paid the price.
My latest essay is part tribute, part takedown of how we were hoodwinked.

“He sleeps with men, so he’s gay.”
“She bi, so what? All women are."
"He sleeps with transwomen, he ain't straight!”
What if we say about sexuality is more social script than scientific truth?
My new Substack post breaks this wide open.

Sexual orientation as we know it was shaped by doctors, not desire.
Freud saw bisexuality as a perverse phase.
Even heterosexuality started out as a pathology. Yikes!
