“Punk magazine is gonna expose the gay mafia”—that’s what Lester was telling people. And the scene was so small, everybody heard about it. Everybody was scared. I guess people were more in the closet back then. I didn’t even know what the gay mafia was supposed to be. It was like a joke somebody made up. The “gay mafia”? There was no gay mafia! It was Lester’s idea. And Punk magazine took the rap for it.
