Nights in Black Leather (1973) An underground classic that helped define the golden age of gay erotic cinema. Directed by Richard Abel and shot on the streets of San Francisco, Nights in Black Leather captured the raw, untamed spirit of pre-AIDS queer liberation—equal parts art film, road movie, and unapologetic celebration of desire. This tee pays tribute to the film’s moody aesthetic, its iconic leather-clad star Joe Gage, and a moment when gay culture was boldly seizing the night on its own terms.
