Long Durk Road
In a Frontiers INLA
article by Ken Knox, Tom of Finland Foundation co-founder Durk Dehner
reflects on his dream job and the vast influence that Tom of Finland
has had on gay culture.
Exerpt:
Dehner has made it his mission to keep the Foundation going,
and urges members of the gay community to get involved.
"The Foundation
has a tough time of it as it’s very difficult to get large-scale
funding for us because of the nature of the arts organization that
we are," he explains.
"Sexual expression
is still not an easy sell to boards that donate to cultural organizations,
so the solution has to come from within the community that the Foundation
serves. If we don’t get it together and care for our own cultural
treasures, who else do you think will?"
