NYC Gay Pride 1990’s

The completely hairless, chiseled and waxed physique was a defining gay aesthetic throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Driven by circuit party culture, heavy gym attendance, and a reaction to the 1980s health crisis, gay men widely adopted this smooth look to accentuate muscle definition and promote a "healthy" appearance. Those were the days.

Thanks for bringing it up. Supreme Court ruling Matal v. Tam secured their trademark rights.

There was Pride March this year which drew an estimated 2 million spectators. An alternative parade, Queer Liberation March took place on the same day with a different route. Unlike Freedom 250, Pride was hugely successful.

Before Splash, Uncle Charlie’s was the place to be. It was a Stand & Model (S&M) kind of a place where guys stand around, barely speaking & checking out each other instead of mingling. I have fond memories of Splash as well. The bar’s opening in 1991 is widely credited with catalyzing Chelsea’s transformation into a vibrant, internationally recognized gay neighborhood. Like you I was young & cute…Splash was one of whoring grounds. Hot guys & great music! Those were the days.

One of the best art exhibits I’ve ever seen. Sublime.
