"Bob Wingate and Lee Clauss, former publishers of the legendary Bound & Gagged magazine, open the archive and the floodgates in this richly layered excavation of queer kink, media history, and erotic resistance. Set against the backdrop of the Leather Archives & Museum in Chicago, this candid portrait splices salacious nostalgia with radical politics, tracing decades of defiant desire, artistic transgression, and unapologetic love. A necessary tribute to two aging icons of the underground." (CUFF32)
