Jack Wrangler, a famous gay porn icon who began his career in the 70's, has died. What does this mean to you, you may think? Well, to be honest, not very much if you're not familiar with the gay community. But let's travel back in time to the 1970's. Civil Rights Movements. Free love, not just for women, but also for men. Jack Wrangler emerges out of this time as one of the first gay porn stars. Although I've never seen any of his work, I've heard that it is very inspirational.
As to exactly 'what' is inspired is debatable. But one thing that is certain is his open sexuality and his macho man persona helped paved the way for gay men everywhere to feel just a little bit more comfortable about their sexuality. For that, his life deserves commending.
Below is clip from the 2008 documentary titled Anatomy of an Icon, which depicts the life of Jack Wrangler, as well as Jack Wrangler himself. I recommend checking it out if I have piqued your interest.
