Site of the Day: Vintage Gay Paperbacks

The 1950's and 60's, in the age before the internet (hell even television wasnt as popular or available) people everywhere bought books.

These cheap dime-store paperbacks were the "porn" of their day. Reading a hot sexy juicy story was one of the way gay men (and everyone else for that matter) could find gay content of any kind. The Hollywood Hayes code prevented explicit gay stories to be shown in films, and if they were (like the film "The Children's Hour") the characters stories had to end in despair and doom.

Take a trip back in time and check out these lovely paperback covers of an era where just the very notion of two men kissing was a spicy, seedy, and scandalous turn-on.

But WHAT is up with the GOP fav-icon on the browser? Will somebody please explain that to me?
