Vintage gay
This week’s post will likely raise a number of eyebrows from readers who don’t think of themselves as vintage but who clearly remember the 1980s.
However, the post is dedicated to the men and women who were brave to live out and proud at a time in our history when it was both dangerous and difficult to do so. With the AIDS epidemic and an unsympathetic president in Washington, it took a lot of cojones to be out and let’s face it the fashion while sometimes tragic is a lot of fun to look at so indulge me this week with this photo. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
And yes, I do realize these are models, but I really wanted a 1980s themed Vintage Gay post and this was the best I could muster with my limited time.
Kiki Beach summer kick off at M Street Beach
This is just a reminder to everyone that will be in Boston this weekend that Kiki Beach is back and will be hosting their first take over of the M Street Beach in Southie on Saturday, June 17th, starting at Noonish Due to weather (again) Kiki Beach has moved to Sunday, June 18th starting at 11ish.
I thought I would share the instructions from the Facebook page for anyone who may be new and never attended kiki beach last year.
How does one get to Kiki Beach?
1. Tap your ride sharing app three times & head to M Street Beach
2. The kiki lies just beyond the Community Center, first bus shelter to the right
3. When you see inseams less than 5 inches & legs for days – you have arrived!
For more information, check out the event page: Kiki Beach at M Street
