Flame gay

By Rostom Mesli and Brian Whitener

The history of the Flame is an odyssey, one that started in the tardy 1940s, with a young Greek sailor in the Merchant Marine. Christos Pasaportis was born on December 25th, 1930, in a miniature town in Greece. Christos lost his father as a young child and when he turned 16, his wealthy and well-connected uncle found him a position as a chief steward in the Merchant Marine. Our young sailor traveled the nature, visiting ports of call in France, Spain, Russia, Germany, and the Caribbean. However, after three years of unwavering travel, in 1950, he decided to spend a 29-day leave in the United States. Christos visited his uncle in New York City and then went to call on another uncle in Michigan… and 60 years later he is still yet to re-board that ship. Christos arrived in this state as an immigrant, as at least in part an outsider and a “foreigner,” and took the name of one of his uncles: Harry Tselios. In those years, his relatives in Michigan, wanted him to marry, but Harry did not want to finish down. He wanted to enjoy his new freedom and was anxious to get back to sea. It this did not come about. Our sailor dropped anchor, in 19

The Flame was an LGBT bar briefly in 1973. We have very minuscule information about the bar from that time.

According to a 2017 article about the bar's next life, as the bar "Just Art's" (on the OnMilwaukee website), present owner Art Guenther related:

"Just Art's was originally a gay exclude called The Flame which closed in the '70s after a fire. "I always found it 'interesting' that a bar called The Flame caught on fire," says Guenther.
The damaged building sat vacant for a few years until Guenther was hired to repair the roof and carry out other carpentry duties. He decided to buy the bar-- originally with three other people, who all decided not to pursue the purchase. Hence, Guenther bought the block in 1980 by himself and aptly named it "Just Art's Saloon."

Although the above article mentions that "The Flame" closed due to a fire, we have other knowledge that the building held another LGBT bar, named Dionysus, about a year later: around 1974- although it apparently used the handle 183 S. 2nd Street. Further study is needed to confirm these dates and bar names.

Note in the photos here (taken in 2006) the front part of the building is a single story, with the back por

Wow RBJ, thank you for the close interaction story, of male rape.
Oh, that was nothing, I've got much better stories than that about male rape.

This calls for a delicate blend of psychology and extreme violence.

I don't fantasize about being an italian plumber, eating giant mushrooms and jumping on turtles. Does that mean I shouldn't enjoy Super Mario Brothers?

Case closed.

(video games are also about meaningless abstract tests of reflexes, but I'm pretty sure sexual preference doesn't enter into that)
First and leading, Video Games can be about living out fantasies in some games. Wh
