This incident from long before Trump became a household name is an ideal exemplar for his business career, in which he has repeatedly left bitterness and ruin in his wake. Besides, he declared, he knew more than the curators-the panels had no artistic merit and little financial value. Saving the panels would have cost him $32,000 each, he said, and delayed work for a few days on his $100 million project, Trump Tower. The desecration horrified Manhattan's art community, but the developer, a brash 34-year-old named Donald Trump, dismissed the criticism-pretending to be his own spokesman, "John Barron," as he talked to reporters by phone.
But that afternoon, the laborers, acting on orders from the developer, smashed the 50-year-old art deco panels into a rubble of stone, pebble and dirt. Many New Yorkers had hoped the grandest portion would survive curators from the Metropolitan Museum of Art had asked the developer to carefully remove the two bas-relief sculpture panels so they could be restored and put on public display. The exterior they were destroying was an architectural masterpiece-bronze, platinum, hammered aluminum, glazed ceramic and tinted glass that shimmered like jewelry. It was June 5, 1980, and a sense of bitterness hung over the work site that afternoon paychecks were often weeks late, but since the Poles didn't have legal status in the United States, there was little they could do about it.

Zizo Magazine, BelgiumĪlthough Gay Man's Worst Friend only has 128 pages, Andersson presents an overload of material for serious reflection on the direction of the gay community of today. The novella-sized memoir exhaustingly tells the story of creating the zine, from driving to the printing press to detailing each phone interview given to random European gay weeklies -Out Magazine, USĪndersson succeeds in a calm and reasoned look back at the hysteria that Destroyer caused. It's an exciting contemporary history that is told about hard work, about vulnerability, about being in-your-face. What this slender book does is chart the magazine's history and backlash, presenting a calm rational response to the hysterical screams of paedophilia. He has since then contributed to a number of newspapers and high-profile glossies, straight and gay. For a long time he worked in the heart of Stockholm's gay scene, as the editor of Sweden's first glossy gay magazine. Karl Andersson is a Swedish linguist and writer. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. The outraged reactions to Destroyer expose hidden power structures and show how gay identity has been steadily shrunk over recent decades, excluding ever more expressions of homosexuality. It's also the story of the gay movement in the 21st century.
Gay Man's Worst Friend is not only the thrilling story of Europe's most controversial gay magazine, told from Stockholm, Prague and Berlin. A police investigation was instigated and Destroyer's editor Karl Andersson was summoned to an interrogation. Neo-Nazis were just as upset, and the Ombudsman for Children demanded a change in the law to make the magazine illegal. The Swedish LGBT establishment cried out against the magazine, claiming it gave gay people a bad name.
For the first time since the 1970s, a gay magazine dared to openly celebrate the beauty of the teenage boy, in words and pictures. The first issue of Destroyer magazine dropped like a bomb in May 2006.
