Vintage gay
Date and location unknown
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
The Boston Gayllennial: A break up story
Recently, The Boston Gayllennial, wrote a post about getting dumped. His (now) ex-boyfriend, broke up with him over the phone, saying, “we are too different”. The surprise conversation forced our young gayllennial into a self-reflection spiral that ended with him asking himself (and nearly all his friends), “Do opposites attract or do relationships require you to seek out a carbon copy counterpart to succeed?”
Fortunately, his friend Lenae told him what we all know to be true, that it isn’t an either or answer because people are different. I’d also like to give his girlfriend a shout out for more than just her sage advise. She gets bonus points from yours truly for what she does next to our impressionable gayllennial.
Feel free to read the wonderfully written blog post, THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER: A BREAK UP STORY. I think a lot of you may enjoy his writing and past posts, which are entertaining and anecdotal in nature.
This week on Instagram: pasiglobetrotter
Boston attracts a much larger international population than most American cities of similar size, because of all our universities (just Boston has 35 colleges and universities and more than 50 in Greater Boston). Each September tens of thousands of students move to Boston (temporarily) while they pursue whatever academic ambitions they may have.
It is precisely in that context that I met Pasi about seven years ago. Originally from Finland, I still laugh when I think about him tapping crazy looking texts in his native Finnish all while dancing his butt off in the back room of Club Cafe. Unfortunately, after graduate school Pasi moved back to Europe, but I still follow him on all his travels (this guy gets around). If you like tall handsome Finnish men who are filled with wanderlust then you should check out his IG account.
