Porn free (Images by Magnus Hastings/Chronicle Books)

Photographer Magnus Hastings came up with the idea of inviting his LGBTQ subjects to pose in a simple white box, presenting themselves exactly as they wished to be seen. His #GayFace photos became all the rage, with many seeking out the celebrity photog for the chance to express themselves.

The gimmick, launched in 2018, became a long series of startling portraits that are now gathered in his coffee-table book Rainbow Revolution.

Added to the imagery are essays from some of the subjects. Hastings says:

The essays elevate the book for me and give it a purpose beyond the social media recognition the images have gained.

As of November 24, Rainbow Revolution — featuring everyday folks, famous actors, RuPaul's Drag Race stars, porn actors and every other kind of person you can think of — will be available wherever you buy books, from Chronicle Books or here!

New Mexico House candidate Roger Montoya, an out gay man running as a Democrat, has been exposed by a right-wing publication as Joe Savage, an '80s Falcon model who once memorably flip-fucked with porn icon Jeff Converse in the 1985 movie Spring Training.

Montoya, 59, an artist in many mediums who has for 30 years been a landscape painter, issued what I would say is a rather unfortunate statement in that he expresses embarrassment for doing porn instead of just saying he did it for money as a broke young man, it was legal and who cares?

He said on Facebook of the movies, which he seems to claim were shot in 1982:

Larry Flynt, 77, turns in an insightful essay for Daily Beast, wherein he reminisces about one of the biggest battles of his life — the fight for free speech.

In 1983, his Hustler published a gross-out parody Campari ad that contained a clearly fake interview with Jerry Falwell Sr., in which Falwell confessed to losing his virginity to his mother. In an outhouse.

I shit you not.
