Unity Press presents a reprint of Brontez Purnell’s 2003 Fag School, a series of publications featuring interviews, photographs, writings and more from a predominately gay selection of contributors.

In issue #1, Alvin Orloff, The Husbands, Coloring, Ask Allison, Scream Club, and other queer tastemakers are lauded for their candid descriptions of a punk and free-wheeling lifestyle. Fag School also printed tongue-and-cheek reviews of public cruising grounds that entice and entertain those who have dabbled in these areas of life (and those who haven’t). Printed in monochrome on newsprint, these Risographic zines exude energy and gossip, making them an irresistible read for the contemporary queer individual or their multitudes of allies.
