Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph and ask readers to offer a funny caption. Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a few of your own.

Tuesday’s benefit has been postponed – More details will follow
Organizers are fundraising to accommodate 32 of the survivors from the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando who have indicated they would like to travel to Boston Pride later this summer to celebrate Pride one year after the horrible tragedy which resulted in 49 people being murdered and 53 wounded.
To make this a reality a Go Fund Me page was set up. The benefit originally scheduled for Tuesday, April 18th at Club Cafe has been postponed but more details will follow shortly. In the interim share the Go Fund Me link with friends to help raise funds to bring these survivors to Boston for a weekend celebrating Pride: Go Fund Me page.

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.

Two weeks from this Wednesday, Boston Spirit Magazine will host their annual LGBT networking night on Wednesday, April 26 at the Marriott Boston Copley Place Hotel from 6-9 p.m.
This year’s guest speaker, Kathy Griffin, is sure to get a warmer welcome than last year’s featured speaker, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker. However, remember that one must RSVP to attend this event.
A week ago I published a blog post asking for book suggestions so imagine my surprise when a professor from a local university who happens to live in my neighborhood reached out to let me know about a book he has collaborated, edited and recently published called, The Boys in the Band’: Flashpoints of Cinema, History, and Queer Politics.
Inspired by the play / movie, this book includes a collection of essays on the 1970 film “The Boys in the Band” that would be of interest to those interested in queer studies and film. For those who may have never had a chance to see this groundbreaking film, I’d suggest you consider streaming it.
