Vintage gay

It can be a challenge to date a photo when the men are au natural (so to speak) but I’m going to guess this was taken in the 1980s. Can anyone else discern when this photo of campers in the buff may have been taken?

Midnight Cowboy (4K restored) at The Coolidge

Looking for something to do and want to get out of the house? The Coolidge Theater in Brookline is playing Midnight Cowboy. The film starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman was both a critical and commercial success when it first came out in 1969. Its “homosexual frame of reference” contributed to its X-rating, making it the first film with such a rating to receive the best picture Oscar.

Showtimes run thru Wednesday, July 19th playing daily with the exception of Monday, July 17th. For more information about showtimes or to purchase tickets visit their website, Coolidge Corner, Midnight Cowboy.

Boston.com book club: When You Call My Name

Boston.com’s Book Club has selected When You Call My Name by Tucker Shaw as this month’s book. The historical fiction novel, which was first published in May 2022 and is now available in paperback, is set in 1990 New York City and focuses on the complicated coming-of-age story many gay men and teenagers experienced at that time (your’s truly included).

As a special treat, the author, Tucker Shaw, will discuss his debut novel with Christina Pascucci Ciampa, the owner of All She Wrote Books. If you’re interested in joining the online discussion, there is still time to take the book out at your library or purchase it from your favorite local bookstore. But first be sure to register to attend the book club meeting on Wednesday, July 26 at 6 p.m.

Free and open to all

Scruffy Sunday

The Birdcage shows at Coolidge Theater on Monday, July 10th

The Coolidge Corner Theater will be showing the 1996 classic comedy, The Birdcage on Monday, July 10 at 7:30p.m. If you’re looking for something fun to do at the start of next week, this could be a fun option to go with friends or someone special. I recently saw the movie and while it is dated in some ways (afterall their is no such thing as social media or iPhones), it still holds up and provides plenty of funny moments.

Vintage gay

Looks like a hot makeout session at someone’s house, but I can’t figure out when this may have occurred. I think the guy on the left has some sort of uniform on – perhaps one of you may be able to place or date the photo based on his clothes.
