PHOTOS: These vintage postage stamps of male wrestlers are basically gay porn
Commemorative stamps have long been used by countries to mark a historic date such as an anniversary, or to honor an event, place, person, or object.
Unlike definitive stamps, commemorative stamps are usually made in limited quantities and sold for a temporary period of time before going out of print.The New York Times once called it the “most mocked athletic uniform in existence.”For whatever reason, male wrestlers have long been a popular subject for commemorative stamps in countries all across the globe.
Interestingly, many of the countries that printed them don’t have particularly friendly histories when it comes to gay people–Russia, Cuba, Turkey, Poland.While the governments of these places might’ve had (and, in some cases, still have) serious issues with two men loving one another in the privacy of their own homes, when it came to licking the backs of stamps depicting images of dudes ramming and jamming their half naked bodies up against each other, they were totally fine with it.We’ve compiled some of the very best totally-not-gay vintage postage stamps of male wrestlers from over the years, with some dating as far back as the 1940s.
