I’m going to guess that this was taken in the 1980s, but I haven’t anything to confirm that suspicion, and I am curious when you think this intimate moment between these two men may have been captured?

Red White and Royal Blue on Prime starting August 11

Red White & Royal Blue is a gay romance novel written by Casey McQuiston in 2019. When I reviewed the book in 2020, I described it as “a lighthearted beach novel with a scripted storyline that was as unrealistic as it was humorous with ridiculous scenarios playing out page after page”.

Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine portray the unlikely couple, and they are supported by a cast with some big names including Uma Thurman and Stephen Frye. I’m a sucker for RomComs and I enjoyed the book for what it was – an entertaining distraction and hope the movie will be as enjoyable to watch as the novel by McQuiston was to read.

Do you plan to watch Red White & Royal Blue when it is available on Prime later this month?

Vintage gay

Looks like quite a party. I can’t say that I’m a fan of the saggy and baggy bathing suits these guys are wearing but I’m hoping someone can date the photograph based on the swimwear.
