However I got the eye opening experience several weeks ago when I was asked by a strange but harmless friend of mine to help him set up his fetish booth at an event called Pennsylvania Mr. Drummer and Drummer boy. He needed his lighting and phone line for fax installed and security for his booth.

Now my friend sells all this fantasy leather and rubber clothing along with paddles, whips harness's, restraints, etc. to help couples live out there erotic sexual fantasies. However, on this particular evening, the Leather bar in Pittsburgh was packed with Gay guys and Gals and they were wearing every type of disgusting leather outfit you could think of with [butt] cheeks hanging out, along with their genitals. Many of them wore T-shirts with disgusting, terrible messages and leather cop and security guard outfits. Lesbians were dressed as Boy Scouts and diesel dykes, dressed in jeans and t-shirts with their cigarettes rolled up in their sleaves, they looked like guys from the rear and Sin and Debauchery everywhere.

Before, during, and after the event, guys were kissing each other and hugging and feeling each others’ genitals. Needless to say when I got home I took my clothes off and burned them and took a long hot soapy shower. After seeing what I saw I will never ever again wear a leather jacket.

Now none of the guys or gals made a pass at me as they knew the vendors were straight.

I never did get the meaning behind what drummer stands for, it has something to do with Leather.

The program started off with a transvestite in a red, white, and blue dress; singing the national anthem while an American Flag was unfurled. Unlike the gay guys, only us straight guys took off our hats and put our hands over our hearts. Gay event or not, they were respecting the flag, but too bad that many in the audience didn’t. I guess they don’t realize how lucky they are that they live in this country where they can live the gay lifestyle. In another country recently, in Iran, six gay cross dressers were ordered to receive 200 lashes each and 20 years in prison [on a moral charge].

After the flag display they introduced the judging panel which were former and current drummer winners all dressed in leather along with a gay woman known as the tally mistress for the event. Then the 3 Drummer boys and 3 Drummer men were introduced, each giving statements as to why they wanted to be a drummer.

The Drummer boys who looked to be under 24 refer to the older drummers as their Daddies, who they often live with. Their daddies help introduce them to the gay leather lifestyle. Meanwhile, while I was providing security at my friends booth , a gay male couple were ooogling over all the display items. The slave in the relationship took off his leather vest to reveal a leather harness which went all the way down and around his genitals. His master struck him with several different whips on display until they decided on one both master and slave liked. They then kissed and embraced each other as my friend ran their [credit] card.

I was about ready to go outside and puke.

Next in the concert each Drummer contestant came out with something to auction to the crowd, the proceeds going to the gay and lesbian task force. Drummer boy 1 had a basket filled with paddles and whips and a video "Dungeon Slave Boy." Number 2# auctioned off a Ball stretcher and cock-ring, which he was wearing and was visible to the crowd. The cock-ring was a 2" metal ring that went around the genitals that attached to the ball stretcher that went around the testicles and hung down on them. Quite painful it appeared.

The winning bidder got to come up on stage and remove the items from the boy. How disgusting. How this place keeps its liquor license I would like to know. Anywhere else in Pa. it would have been revoked and the club raided, busted, and shut down.

The 3rd boy, a young black male, had on a studded leather belt to auction. Again the high bidder got to come up on stage and remove it, then the usual hug and kiss.

The men came out next. Drummer one auctioned off a full leather harness, again the bidder got to take it off. Drummer 2# had on a leather thong that was taken off on stage along with drummer 3#.

Then some entertainment. several different lesbians came out on stage dressed like Cher

Lip-sinking her songs. Actually they were very good entertainers.

Next the most disgusting part of the contest. The drummers had to act out on stage there most erotic leather fantasy's. Boy 1# fantasized about being abducted and tied in a dungeon and having his genitals tortured, all carried out on stage (at this point I could look no more. I went out to the [parking] lot were it was being broadcast over speakers.)

Boy 2 # fantasizes about being abducted by 2 gay guys and has a threesome on stage. Boy 3# has a fantasy about breaking into a sacred temple and is whipped and beaten as he attempts to claim the treasure.

Then came the drummer men. Drummer man 1# fantasizes about being a cop dressed in a leather cop outfit. In the bad side of town he is patrolling, Hells Alley east, when he comes across a greasy Porto Rican. He busts playing 3 card money, he rolls the guy to the ground and proceeds to rape and sodomize him on stage to teach him a lesson never to come back to the alley. Man2# fantasizes of finding a leather boy and gagging and tying him to his Harley, and again, a rape scenario.

I left the lot to go puke.

I will not even describe contestant 3#.

My friend tells me they then had all the contestants come out in Leather jock straps and harnesses to show off there bodies and butts. After the judges tallied their votes and the awards were given out a Dungeon Party was held all night in the lower bar section with everything you would expect to find in a dungeon (I was told).

No--the gays don’t have an agenda. They are all well meaning citizens who wouldn’t hurt no one. RIGHT! And to make matters worse, the whole time this contest was going on, 2 City of Pittsburgh cops, off duty but working in Uniform, are within sight and sound of the whole thing!
