It's an element that others who have been out for a long time may forget about or not appreciate.Īll gay utopia's are limited in what they will include, fantasy worlds where so much is excluded, and Phillips's utopia is no exception. They demonstrate that illustrations such as these can have a powerful beneficial effect on young gay men who are struggling with their sexuality and are moving towards coming out. But as you read them you begin to realise why they are there. The latter are all letters of praise and thanks and at first sight seem rather self-indulgent, as if Philips wants to pat himself on the back (he has no need to). Philips includes a couple of other elements: preparatory drawings for some of the pictures, to indicate something about his working methods, and letters from some of his fans. The pictures are exuberant, colourful, inventive, romantic, sexy, touching, fun they celebrate the happy and tender moments of life and they are drawn with huge confidence, boldness and brio. Joe says in a brief note: "I've collected some of my favourite images from 'Boys Will Be Boys' calendars and over fifty new images in this book." Among the mostly white young males are real people, celebrities and models, each getting their little bit of idealised immortality.
