I took a little time today to put into words how I feel about my work and the political situation these days. It’s about a five minute read with pictures. I’d love to know your thoughts… If you’re interested, here’s a link to my blog post on my website: www.saullyons.com/blog/2025/2/... - ThreadSky

Effectivement je comprend et je suis d'accord avec toi, l'art gay, les représentations d'hommes nus même partiellement sont censurées. Les personnes ne disent pas qu'ils aiment l'art gay qu'ils le reconnaissent car c'est mal vu , c'est malsain , je suis indigné comme toi, nous valons autant même +

Just finished your blog post and it so resonates with me, as I'm sure it will with many gay/queer artists who read it. Thank you so much for sharing and putting your feelings and experiences out there.

"To me, they are not threatening in any way." - that is the key. One might feel threatened by your drawings on a physical level, on a performative level, on a psychological level, and even on the level of the mere existence of such males and their... endowings.
You scare'em sh*tless. That's good.

Wonderful read! The world feels more scary and dangerous than it ever has but I know if there’s 1 thing our community is adept at it’s surviving. Your work is important in building that future where a positive, gentle gay masculinity is celebrated and understood. Your art will survive, we will too

Your work is truly beautiful in every way. You truly display in your work, what it feels, like for a man to fall in love with another man. We have to hope that Trump will come to a sticky end. All historical dictators do. Keep creating beautiful masculinity, in your art, Saul. Nobody can stop you.

Great Words Saul. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for your words, Saul. Let's be creative anyway. And connect with likewise artists. Perhaps the 'storm' will be over in 3 1/2 yrs..... or not.....keep breathing, relax and please, please keep faith!!🍀❤️🍀

Thanks! I’m with you on that. Not sure what else we can do.
