I am a gay, urban, foodie and travel nut who lives in Boston’s South End. I started blogging about gay life in Boston and Provincetown in the fall of 2007 as a hobby. The hobby turned into a passion and now I have more than 12,000 blog posts on BosGuy.com, making me the longest running and preeminent blogger for LGBTQ life in Boston, Provincetown and New England.
If there is something happening that would be of interest to the LGBTQ community, gay life in Boston, Provincetown or New England, or that is about the arts, dining or travel, contact me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Not all the images on this blog are my own. I do use photos that are emailed to me by readers and found on the web. If you are the owner of an image and would like to be credited or have it removed, contact me directly by email or by leaving a comment on the specific posting.

Greetings,
I hope your week is off to a great start. I recently found your website while searching for thought leaders in the men’s fashion world and quickly found myself getting lost in the posts. You’ve developed an amazing platform and I love the storytelling methods you utilize to engage your readers.
I’m reaching today because I would like to know if you were going to be featuring any new and menswear products on your site, and if so, if you’d be interested in reviewing TaniUSA’s cutting-edge luxury underwear. TaniUSA has developed an innovative Micro Modal fabric that’s proven to be softer and more comfortable than traditional silk, providing greater fit and comfort for improved sleep, better body temperature control, and advanced moisture-wicking capabilities. Our progressive, eco-friendly products have been receiving rave reviews, and we were recently featured in Forbes magazine where we spoke in detail about how TaniUSA has been disrupting the luxury underwear/loungewear market.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/josephdeacetis/2019/08/26/tani-usa-rocks-luxury-loungewear-with-micro-modal-air-fabrics-stretch-and-recovery/?fbclid=IwAR3jXBHU2g3idI4jOzoQVDhJ4EW96I1Dod6YOc4C0aeNCuAeDlJoLBS0e1s#22b377143a85
We believe that TaniUSA’s products would be the perfect fit for both you and your followers, as it’s a product designed with a strong emphasis on quality, comfort, and sustainability. We understand that you only want to recommend the best styles and products to your readership, and we believe ours is comparable to none. We would love to send you some of our product to test it out for yourself, and would be glad to continue the conversation if you’re interested.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, as I’m sure you receive numerous inquiries on a daily basis. If you would like to jump on a call to discuss things further, I’d be glad to.
With gratitude,
Johnell

Hi,
I’m one of the producers of Story Club Boston, a storytelling/reading show at the Milky Way Lounge in Jamaica Plain. Our shows attempt to bring together a mix of featured storytellers ranging from seasoned veterans and performers to people from all walks of life. In addition, we also feature an open mic portion where audience members can tell their own five-minute story based on the night’s theme.
To that end, we would like to invite you to join us as one of our featured storytellers at an upcoming show. We feel that you’d be a great storyteller and offer our audience a unique perspective. Past storytellers have included standup comedians, actors, writers, community leaders, politicians, members of the Boston Derby Dolls roller derby team, local chefs and bartenders, etc.
If you’re interested in joining us and/or would like more information, please feel free to contact me at this email address. Hope to hear from you soon and hope you can join us.
Sincerely,
Ken Green

Hi Bos Guy,
I’m Karina from BookSinglesHolidays.com, I was looking at your site and noticed that you feature amazing LGBT related articles!
I was wondering if maybe you would be interested in sharing our recent article “LGBT Travel – What are the Most and Least LGBT Friendly Countries” We made the list after doing some research and we were able to come up with a comprehensive list with the most recent and updated information on LGBT travel.
I believe it is a great read that you and your community would enjoy.
You can find the article here:

I met you at the Santa Speedo Run (I was the guy in the furry reindeer hat with the logo on his chest). Anyway I was wondering if you would mind sending me the photo you snapped? I’d of course cite the source and sing your blog praises. Thank you by the way!

What’s Up Bosguy, I stumbled across your blog (Nice) and figured I’d ask you a question. I am trying to build a black gay history in this country and wondered if you knew of any Black Gay Bars/Lounges, clubs..etc that were open PRIOR to 1990? The older the better. Just trying to trace the history of black gays in this country and where they congregate “back in the day.” Do you know the names of any past establishments that could help me out?

I found your blog after a google search of BoMa (where I live two minutes away from). The lighting fixtures look great but ultimately what will make the greatest amount of relevance is the skill and warmth of the employees they hire. If the staff sucks it wont matter to me how pretty the inside looks (and I’m amazed at the type of people who get hired to interact with the public and decided to leave their charming personality with their jacket in the employee locker room).
