Saturday morning coffee

I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a cup of coffee in bed, but this guy makes it look so desirable.

Furry Friday

Seems like an appropriate Furry Friday photo for the first Friday in June.

Happy Pride to everyone.

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday, 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.

Leave your answer in the comment section. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

This week’s brain teaser:  What do you bury when it is alive and dig up when it is dead?

Boston Pride events this weekend

Pride in Boston will have more grassroots feel this year with the dissolution of Boston Pride. Much thanks needs to go to Boston’s local gay bars and organizations that have have stepped into the void, promising a more diverse and unapologetically queer expression of Pride than Boston has seen in years. Please show these organizations some love and have a fabulous PRIDE.

Vintage gay

The photo is from 1980 San Francisco Pride. The first case of AIDS in the US would be reported one year later in June 1981, and life for these men and millions of others would never be the same again. Most of the U.S. would refuse to help, leaving tens of thousands to die afraid and alone. An unsympathetic America would see AIDS as “God’s will” and a way to “cleanse society”.

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.

Kiki Beach: Season Seven

kiki beach boston, gay boston, boston's gay beaches

A couple weeks ago the Kiki Beach Instagram account announced the start of the seventh season of Kiki Beach. This marks the seventh year Boston’s LGBTQ+ community has been claiming part of M Street Beach in Southie on Saturdays.

If you’re not familiar with Kiki Beach, or if it has been awhile since you’ve last gone, check out the image below. It shows where you’re likely to find your fellow LGBTQ+ friends at M Street Beach. Most set up after passing the first bus shelter (if you are walking away from the L Street Bath House).

If you will be in Boston this weekend come and check out Kiki Beach on Saturday (most don’t usually get to the beach before 12PM), but Sergio and I are often among the very first, arriving by 11AM.

Caption this photo

13 times champion Rafael Nadal made an amazing come back yesterday against #1 and defending champ Novak Djokovic to reach the semifinals at Roland Garros for a 15th time. I wonder if his banana is the source of his strength 😉

Leave a funny caption in the comment section, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy. My suggested caption will have meaning for Nadal fans.
