ENDNOTES
1. Breeding and taxes: “Two groups opposed to gay marriage rights . . . argued
that the state has a legitimate interest in restricting marriage to
opposite-sex couples as a way of encouraging procreation.” — AP,
FoxNews, 14 March 2005; “Connecticut could lose nearly $1 million
a year because of decreased inheritance tax revenue if the state allows
civil unions of same-sex couples.” — AP, 13 March 2005, 365Gay.

4. For thirty years, I have noted the failure of queer studies in regard to
gay magazines’ editorial and advertising contents, and applaud Paul
Baker’s latter-day efforts in “No Fats, Femmes or Flamers: Changing
Constructions of Identity and the Object of Desire in Gay Men’s
Magazines,” B. Benwell and T. Edwards (eds), Masculinity and Men’s
Lifestyle Magazines, 2004, which, nevertheless, overall, fails to bother
to excavate the gay magazine roots of the 60s and 70s, particularly
Drummer, which quickly grew hugely influential and became Inter-
national Drummer.
