The Boys in the Band: Flashpoints of Cinema, History and Queer Politics

Matt Bell, gay studies, lgbt studiesA week ago I published a blog post asking for book suggestions so imagine my surprise when a professor from a local university who happens to live in my neighborhood reached out to let me know about a book he has collaborated, edited and recently published called, The Boys in the Band’: Flashpoints of Cinema, History, and Queer Politics.

Inspired by the play / movie, this book includes a collection of essays on the 1970 film “The Boys in the Band” that would be of interest to those interested in queer studies and film.  For those who may have never had a chance to see this groundbreaking film, I’d suggest you consider streaming it.

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brainEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s riddle is a tough, but don’t give up!
Here is a hint, read the riddle very carefully.

This week’s brain teaser: 

I am the soul within the blessed,
but soon must take my leave.
And in my wake, a wound undressed
will stain a silken sleeve.

I possess the one who’s cursed,
but I cannot stay for long.
And when I go, your wounds reversed
will make the sickly strong.

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?

Popular gay novel “call me by your name” coming to theaters this fall

Andre Aciman, gay literature, LGBT novelLast week I asked for some book suggestions and as always happens when I put out such a request Call Me By Your Name  was suggested. This is one of my favorite gay-themed novels so imagine my surprise when one of the people who left a comment said that the book is being made into a movie.

Elio the young man that the book centers on is played by Timothée Chalamet and the American graduate student who moves in with Elio’s family for the summer, Oliver, is played by Armie Hammer. If you are unfamiliar with the book, I would highly recommend reading it and then keep an eye out for the movie which according to IMDB will open in late November 2017.

This week on Instagram: thelatebirdshotel

handsome, hunk, InstagramThis week I’m featuring The Late Birds Hotel Instagram account. This is the all male gay guest house we stayed at when we visited Lisbon last September. The room this handsome guy is relaxing in happens to be the room we stayed in while there. I loved The Late Birds and wrote about it here.  Following this account always reminds me of our time in Lisbon. We need to go back.

Airline humor

Monday bluesI’m off traveling for work until later this week so I thought I’d share a bit of airline humor which is likely lost on all of you who enjoy some level of status with a particular airline.

I will be slower than usual with replying to emails, confirming comments and posting, while I travel for work. Thank you for bearing with me while I’m away.

GoFundMe for Pulse Orlando survivors to spend Pride in Boston

Boston PrideOn June 12, 2016, a terrorist traveled to Orlando and targeted members of our community.  The result was the worst mass shooting in US history; 49 murdered in cold blood and 53 others horribly wounded, fearing for their lives.

Boston based LGBT advocates and organizations want to open our arms, envelop these amazing individuals, and honor the brave survivors throughout the weekend of Boston Pride, June 9-12, 2017 but to do so they need your help so a GoFundMe page has been set up, seeking donations.
