I've mentioned the book Secret Historian here before. Cable show In The Life took a closer look at the book and its author, Justin Spring. They write:
"A self-invented legend, Samuel Steward lived as an out gay man decades before the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion. Sam's far-reaching impact includes detailed journals and recordkeeping which were invaluable to the studies of Alfred Kinsey and artistry that inspired famed designer Ed Hardy."
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…
