Finland to offer Tom of Finland gay bondage art stamps


Worth a trip to Finland after September 2014 just to buy a few and send postcards to conservative US lawmakers or, say, the Pope.

Slate: This fall, the country will begin selling stamps that feature the "confident and proud homoeroticism" of Tom of Finland, an artist renowned as "beyond question the most influential creator of gay pornographic illustration."

Tom of Finland, aka Touko Laaksonen, once famously said "If I don't have an erection when I'm doing a drawing, I know it's no good."
