Don’t they look content? When do you think this photo in the park was taken? I want to say the 1950s but am unsure.
What do you see?
Thanks to Will over at Back2Stonewall for sharing this on their Twitter account. I thought it might be fun to share by posting here. Let me know what you learn about yourself after taking this very scientific vision test.
Caption this photo
Please share a caption of your own for this week’s photograph. Hopefully, the caption I’ve shared below will inspire you to leave a funny caption in the comment section. If you don’t see it immediately don’t worry, I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.
Calgon, take me away (with him!)
Temptation Tuesday
Men in kilts
I didn’t know a kilt could come with pockets. I thought that was what a sporran was for.
Monday morning mancandy
For everyone who is off from work to celebrate Juneteenth, enjoy the day. For everyone else, hurry up or you’ll be late to work. Have a great day no matter how you spend it.
Boston Public Library receives $1M gift for LGBTQ+ programming and collection
Earlier this week the Boston Public Library (BPL) announced that it had received a $1M bequest from Howard Cooper, a former resident of Dorchester.
The bequest will provide immediate-use funding to expand the current LGBTQ+ circulating collection, hire a researcher to review the Library’s historic collections for LGBTQ+ materials and hire an intern to work specifically on LGBTQ+ community history as part of the Boston Community History Project.
At a time when many communities are closing public libraries, banning books that share the stories of LGBTQ+, and threatening violence at story hours read by drag queens, this is welcome news. Perhaps it also should serve as a reminder to our community, how much of a bubble we all live.
I’m very thankful for the generous donation of the late Howard Cooper and the many others who value the role of public libraries, librarians, and those who encourage the pursuit of knowledge and learning through reading books.
LGBTQ walking tour of Boston
Are you hosting guests from out of town or planning a visit to Boston (perhaps en route to Provincetown) this summer? The LGBTQ walking tour might be an interesting suggestion for visiting guests or those unaware of the many stories the city holds for the LGBTQ community.
Boston By Foot’s walking tour shares that rich history dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries with stops at historically significant sites throughout Boston. Stops along the walking tour include a variety of bars that hosted drag shows, the AIDS Memorial Quilt, and the former site of the Napoleon Club, a gay bar where Judy Garland gave an encore performance for fans in 1967 following her final performance in Boston. The tour also educates guests about intersectionality in LGBTQ+ history.
Boston Public Radio recently shared a wonderful article about Boston By Foot’s LGBTQ history walking tour (see link in image). I’ve attached a link at the end of this post that takes you directly to the LGBTQ history tour web page if you’re interested in learning more.
The 90-minute walking tour is available for groups or private tours and meets on the front steps of the Massachusetts State House. For more information visit their website, bostonbyfoot.org.
Saturday morning coffee
Enjoy your morning cup of joe.

No clue when or where these two dapper men were posing, but I love the photo and am curious if others may be able to date the photograph. I found the picture on the homoaffectualism Tumblr page.
