I wish I’d never watched the clip below. I always knew my life would be the complete the moment I saw Mickey Mouse wearing nothing but a jockstrap and high heels posing as if he were giving a BJ to Minnie. Now I’ve seen it and I don’t know what the point will be of the rest of my existence.
However that’s just part of the fascinating exclusive clip from the documentary Folsom Forever that we’ve been given, which shows off the astonishing diversity of San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair, where a gay-friendly church can rub up against a dildo hoopla game, and you can visit the PFLAG just after you’ve seen something that means you will never think of Disneyland in the same way again.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘In 1984, a scrappy little neighborhood in San Francisco – home to many low-income tenants and the heart of the gay male leather scene – faced destruction from the bulldozers of redevelopment and the AIDS crisis. The Folsom Street Fair was started to call attention to gentrification and raise money for AIDS charities. Folsom Forever tells the story of how this small street fair grew into the biggest outdoor kink and fetish event in the world, and managed to do a lot of good along the way.
Breaking Glass Pictures releases Folsom Forever on DVD & VoD in the US on June 9th.
