Enjoy your morning cup of joe (or whatever you want to call him).
Boston Gay Men’s Movie Group is going to see Love, Simon on Sunday
The Boston Gay Men’s Movie Group (a friendly Meetup group) is planning to go see Love, Simon at the AMC Movie Theater on the Boston Common on Sunday morning. If you’d like to join them to watch the movie, you need to RSVP for details on where and when they will be meeting before heading into the theater.
Love, Simon has been getting rave reviews. It has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, has been referred to as this generation’s Breakfast Club (high praise indeed) and is being dubbed the first gay-themed RomCom.
About Love, Simon: Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it’s a little more complicated. He hasn’t told his family or friends that he’s gay, and he doesn’t know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.
Furry Friday
Just barely enough to qualify but what he lacks on his chest he makes up for with his beard. At least I’m hoping you’ll agree, because I can’t stop looking.

Vintage gay
What a cute face this guy makes while he gets a peck on his cheek. I have no idea where or when this may have been taken but wonder if the last two digits “58” on the fender might refer to 1958. Anyone have any thoughts?
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.
Study finds that fewer gay men are studying STEM
A new report has published quantitative evidence that fewer gay men are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). This follows similar findings that these areas of study also have fewer women and racial minorities. However when reviewing the evidence for sexual minorities, in an interesting twist, while fewer gay men remain in these fields – women who identify as lesbian are actually more likely to persist in STEM than their heterosexual counterparts.
It is unclear why fewer gay men who initially decide to study science, technology, engineering or math are deciding to change their areas of study or quitting all together, but it is problematic because these areas typically provide good paying jobs and are skills that are highly marketable. The study speculates that difficulty in being accepted by colleagues may contribute to men dropping out but that doesn’t ring true to me. If acceptance was a barrier it wouldn’t make sense to me that lesbians are more likely to continue their studies than their heterosexual counterparts.
If you’d like to read more about the findings from the study you can read Kate Langin’s article, STEM is losing male LGBQ undergrads, and if you would like to see the research firsthand, you can read the abstract for Coming out in STEM: Factors affecting retention of sexual minority STEM students.

Vintage gay
I have no information about where or when this photo may have been taken but I see it often on Pintrest boards and I like the relaxed and natural pose the two strike for this photograph. I can imagine that they must’ve been quite cozy.
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.
