Bit of History.
It has been 20 years since Queer As Folk, the groundbreaking Channel 4 show, knock our screens with a bang bigger than that from the pounding headache you’d get the next morning from sniffing all those poppers on the dance floor of The White Swan in the East End.
It was the first mainstream show that depicted gay life, cruising, pick-ups, recreational drug taking (with a tragic finish for one) and rimming. The first series opened up more than your eyes. The second series was a bit or a let down, so let’s remember the launch and the stars that were made.
What Have We Got?
Apart from projecting Aidan Gillen, Craig Kelly and Charlie Hunnam into the hights of recognisable TV stars, there was also stared another star. A star that really did get bashed in the rear doors. I’m talking about the Jeep Wrangler.
Overnight, the short wheelbase Wrangler was thrown under the gay spot light and garnered a reputation as being a bit of a gays car. Untrue or right, who can tell. I couldn’t assist then. I was 20 and didn’t really own much of
Queer Mobile: The Jeep Wrangler
If there were an official title for the Most Lesbian Car, it would hands down belong to the Jeep Wrangler. With its enormous tires as aesthetically appealing and chunky as a pair of Doc Martens and its pleasingly geometric yet practical shape, there is surely not a dykier vehicle to be found on four wheels (motorbikes are of course the most lesbian of all vehicles, as evidenced by the grand tradition of the Dykes on Bikes at every Pride Parade, as well as their symbiotic relationship with leather and practical shoes). Brian from the US version of ‘Queer as Folk’ bought a Jeep Wrangler after being told that it was ‘for fags’, which gives it even more queer points. And it’s called the Wrangler, for god’s sake. That could easily be the label of a strap-on harness.
For the sake of science, I took a delightful cherry red Wrangler out for a test navigate to see how one of the gayest cars of all time handled on the road. It took me some hour to overcome my trepidation towards being responsible for a machine that was most likely worth more than the entirety of my internal organs existence sold on the ebony market. Once my breathing had slowed to a functional r

1. Base model X and rubicons with tons of off market additions love extra large tires, lights, guard, etc so those real boys can get their jeeps for offroading.
2. Pretty stock Sahara models with navi, power windows/doors, hardtop to be driven in the city
For the latter, I don't think it's ultra-butch. In fact, I think it's quite gay
I've heard of Wranglers being male lover because all the lesbos drive them and build them butch. However, we know that's not genuine because I've never met any lesbos who steer Wranglers They are more popular among gay men
I'm still curious as to how the Wrangler became gay.
I don't assess of a cowboy image as a gay iconmaybe the ones topless with tight jeans and body piercings
