YOUTUBE: The music video for “2 Deadly” by Boy Blue and Gregory Dillon is Mortal Kombat, but gay and horny:

At BoyCulture Substack, I will post interviews and other original posts of more depth and length, including some great Q&As that I conducted while researching an upcoming Esquire.com piece on Mandate and the other Mavety Media magazines, so much of which did not fit in the final piece.

I would love it if you would subscribe — it's free, with $8 as the first paid level (for 1 month).

Another option — during Pride Month, from now through June 30, anyone who subscribes for $150 through me directly on this post gets a lifetime sub to the Substack. No renewals necessary.

$150 to Paypal and I do the rest.
