I’ve previously posted this photo from local photographer, Partick Lentz, but I didn’t think anyone would mind an annual re-posting.
This photo which dates back to the 1950s and came from the Tumblr site of Past Male Beauty seemed like an appropriate photo to share on Valentine’s Day.

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.
