SUMMARY:How the West Got Shirtless: Beefcakes\, the Stampede\, and Queerness with Kevin Allen
DESCRIPTION:Event Date: Thursday\, July 16\nEvent Time: 7-8:30 pm | Doors open 6:30 pm\nCost: $15 (plus fees)\nAges: 13+\n\nLast year\, Kevin Allen packed the house with Colonial Calgary Was SO Gay. This year\, he’s back — and somehow\, things are getting even beefier.\n\nFor one special summer edition\, Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History becomes Hot Cakes & Hot Takes on History. Diving into a surprising chapter of Calgary’s visual history\, we ask a very important question — just how much shirtless cowboy photography can one city produce before people start asking questions?\n\nHistorian and author Kevin Allen returns to explore the world of “beefcake” imagery that flourished around the Calgary Stampede throughout the twentieth century. Originally created to celebrate rugged masculinity\, athleticism\, and the ideal western man\, these photographs often featured remarkably sculpted cowboys\, ranch hands\, and athletes posing in various states of undress.\n\nThe intention may have been to promote strength\, virility\, and frontier values. The result\, however\, was often something a little more… complicated.\n\nKevin examines photographs\, advertisements\, postcards\, and popular culture\, and how these images reflect changing ideas about gender\, masculinity\, and desire. Along the way\, he’ll explore how queer audiences found meaning in images that were never intended for them\, and why some of Calgary’s most iconic symbols of masculinity have aged into something unexpectedly homoerotic.\n\nThis conversation is a reminder that history is rarely as straightforward as it appears — and that sometimes the most revealing stories are hidden in plain sight\, usually without a shirt.\n\nCome for the hot cakes\, stay for the realization that Calgary has been accidentally serving queer subtext for decades.
