Vintage gay

gay black menThis is one of many ‘vintage’ photos that can be viewed here.  It is unclear  when or where this may have been taken. Any thoughts? It’s quite rare for me to come across photos of men of color photographed at any time in history but especially when one looks back before the middle of the 20th Century like this photo.

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.

Hopefully the caption I’ve shared below of Saul Sarmiento (which I swiped from Matt over at boyculture blog late last year) inspires you to offer up a caption or two of your own.

Leave a witty or funny caption as a comment for this post, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.

2020 North American gay ski week calendar

max emersonEach January I write about the various ski weeks and weekends that are organized here in New England and North America.

With the holidays now a thing of the past and many weeks of winter weather still ahead of us, I try to take the attitude of “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” by sharing a handful of gay ski celebrations as the circuit moves from the beaches to the slopes. I also like to use this post to give a shout out to OutRyders – New England’s largest gay ski club.

Aspen Gay Ski Week: January 12-19, 2020  This week long celebration is the biggest and oldest of its kind starting back in 1977 and having grown significantly over the years.

Winter Rendezvous at Stowe, VT: January 22-26, 2020  This is New England’s largest (and longest running) gay ski week. Boston’s  gay ski club, OutRyders (mentioned above) will help members organize and logistics.

Elevation Tremblant Gay Ski Week: January 30 – February 2, 2020 located in Quebec this is a great option for guys from the Northeast. Last year was the first time Elevation came East so it should be interesting to see how they build upon last year’s successful event.

Whistler Pride & Ski Festival: January 26 – February 2, 2020  This annual tradition which started in 1992 offers plenty to do and if you are coming from the US at a nice price break with the favorable exchange rate.

WOW weekend at Sunday River, ME: February 6-9, 2020  The Welcoming Committee’s mini takeover of the Sunday River Resort has grown in recent years. This year Boston’s OutRyders are an official sponsor of the event.

Elevation Utah Gay Ski Week at Park City: Feb 26 – March 1, 2020
While Utah isn’t exactly known as the most gay friendly place in America, this will be the 9th anniversary and continues to grow in popularity.

Elevation Mammoth Gay Ski Week: March 18-22, 2020  The Elevation Ski Week brand started here at Mammoth Mountain and attracts mostly a west coast crowd.

Big Gay Jay Weekend at Jay’s Peak, VT: March 20-23, 2020  This weekend trip to southern Vermont is organized for and by New England’s gay ski club The OutRyders.

If there is a gay ski week or weekend celebration I’ve overlooked that you would like to share, please leave the name, date and web link in the comments section so people can learn more.

Vintage gay

Back in March of 2016 I posted this photo, here. Since then these weekly “vintage gay” blog posts have grown in popularity, which is in part why this week’s post is my 199th Vintage Gay blog post. I hope you continue to enjoy reading these posts – they are a personal favorite of mine.

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.

Scruffy Sunday

sexy man in bedThis is the last Scruffy Sunday of 2019 so I thought I’d feature one of my more popular posts from this year. I wish I knew more about this handsome guy but all I can tell you is that I featured this guy back in May. If anyone knows anything about this guy please do share.

Saturday morning coffee

Normally I take my coffee black but for this last post of 2019, I thought I’d spice up my Saturday morning coffee post with a dash of ginger.
