Al Parker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (783 words) |
 | Aside from his films, Parker is best known in gay culture as one of the icons of the Castro Street Clone era, a time when gay men held the well-groomed, lean, mustached physique popular in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood as an ideal. |
 | Parker also began a relationship with Canadian porn star Justin Cade, however the relationship soon failed because Cade (who practiced safe-sex exclusively in his personal life and adult film career) felt that Parker's continued behaviour of having multiple sex partners and participating in unsafe practices was self destructive. |
 | Parker is the subject of Roger Edmonson's biography Clone: The Life and Legacy of Al Parker Gay Superstar, in which Edmonson traces Parker's penchant for risky sex back to Parker's supposed rape by an "unnamed German man," when Parker was 15 at knife point in the town of Natick, Massachusetts. |
