BEARD THE LION | It’s a few months old, but frankly I could watch men rub beards for hours on end — in fact, if you don’t hear from me in the next few hours, it’s because I’m watching Sean Johnson’s YouTube channel on repeat.
If the models look familiar, that’s because they’re our friends (we go way back) Elliot and Christopher. Ahem, that’s Christopher “PINUPS” Schulz to you.
Mr. Johnson is graduate of SMFA (School of the Museum of Fine Arts). Here’s his take on things.
I see the homosexual man with facial hair as a symbol for masculinity that has been stripped from mainstream gay culture (especially American gay culture). The queer bearded man then becomes the icon of masculinity and a representation of what I feel is somewhat lacking in gay culture.
