BIOGRAPHY: Charles "Chuck" Renslow (1929 – 2017) was an gay American businessman and LGBT civil rights leader beginning in the 1950's. He was known for pioneering homoerotic male photography in the mid-20th-century US, and establishing many landmarks in the gay and leather culture. He was a romantic partner of pioneering gay comic artist Dom Orejudos. Renslow and Orejudos founded Kris Studios in 1952, a physique photography studio that took photos for gay magazines they published. The studio was named in part to honor transgender pioneer Christine Jorgensen. In 1958, they opened a gym named Triumph Gymnasium and Health Studio. That same year Renslow and Orejudos bought Gold Coast Show Lounge, and transformed it into the country's first gay leather bar, called the Gold Coast bar, with a uniform/western/leather dress code, a backroom, and homoerotic art (by Orejudos) on the walls. Both Renslow and Orejudos are considered to be among the leading LGBTQ civil rights movement leaders of the Post Ware era.
