Although the thing that Suttie is mostly known for is his unique hand-built ceramics and playful aesthetic but his social work should also be of note. Suttie was one of many contributors of the London based journals know as Gay Left. [1] These journals brought the discussion of gay social issues and oppression, and bring to the for front the modern day struggles of people in the gay community. These men and women are the reason why today were are offered the rights we enjoy. We are standing on the shoulders of giants but much is still needed to be done and we can only take men like Suttie as examples and continue that discussion of oppression and general social injustice.
