This was really lovely to read, especially as someone living in this neighborhood & trying in my small ways to help keep its kinky legacy alive! The Stud truly was a magical place, one of the few spots that stayed defiantly weird & queer through the 2010s Silicon Valley gentrification of SF, & is so missed.
If you've already done a lot of research into this era you've probably already come across it, Lina, but just in case: "Mechanical Fantasy Box: The Homoerotic Journal of Patrick Cowley" is essential!
