gay couple cuddlingI love this photo because the two men seem to be enjoying themselves as they cuddle for a photo outside. I can’t imagine they can be all that comfortable in their three piece suits but they seem quite at home in each other’s arms.

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?

Learn more and get your tickets here

heels for hope is a gay fund raiser in BostonBRAVO! Last year Boston’s well-heeled supporters raised more than $10,500 for BAGLY, a youth-led, adult-supported organization committed to social justice and advocating for programs, policies, and services for LGBTQ youth.  Let’s see if we can set a new record and raise even more money this year.

What to do this week: May 6 – 12

Last week a new play from SpeakEasy Stage opened called, School  Girls; or, The African Mean Girls Play, and later this week the Lyric Stage opens with a Sondheim musical, Pacific Overtures, which opens on Thursday and runs thru June 16th. Also opening on Thursday is the Boston Ballet’s production of CinderellaBut in my opinion the toughest ticket to get in town this week will be opening night of the Spring Pops season with special guest Bernadette Peters.

Vintage gay

marlon brando, james dean, kissing, gay hollywoodIn some ways, this photo runs counter to what this weekly post is all about – featuring men who were together at times in the past when being gay was actually illegal and relatively unsafe. However, with all the rumors that have swirled around these two Hollywood heart throbs, I couldn’t resist.

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.
