Is there such a thing as a butch theater queen? Sure, Jeff Stryker does a stage show every once and awhile, but director Sean Abley is upping the ante with “L.A. Tool and Die Live: A Pre-condom Comedy” a production of Joe Gage’s masterpiece of masculinity. The original, which features gruff daddy Richard Locke along with guys like Will Seager, Paul Baressi, Casey Donovan, is not only a porn classic, it’s also rightly a classic of gay cinema. The third installment of Gage’s “working man trilogy” (starting with Kansas City Trucking Co. and El Paso Wrecking Corp.) is phenomenal. And thirty years later, the late Richard Locke (above) is still the hottest bear I know (although old COLT Men like Steve Kelso and Bruno still give him a run for the money).

But to get to the stage, the director is looking to raise a little money. And to entice you, he’s throwing a little flesh — in the form of L.A. Tool and Die Live! star John Gale. (He’s hot, but I’m still stuck on Locke — more Locke pics after the jump).
