I want to 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.

Word of the day: Ginger
Seth Fornea at Boatslip in Ptown July 4, 2013
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is Ginger (or as they say around these parts, Gingah).
Ginger (ˈjinjər /noun)
Definition: A man or woman with red hair.
Example: Seth Fornea is a ginger from head to toe.
What LGBTQ hate mail feels like
While the tide of public opinion has changed in recent years, there remains a strong and vocal group who see that acceptance as a direct and personal threat to their way of life. It is easy to disregard these groups but that would be a mistake. Rachel Lauren Clark, a member of the Pride Toronto board, sums it up best when she says, “the worst part of hearing the hate mail read out loud wasn’t the message’s content, but the fact it is so commonplace.”
Videos like this one from Pride Toronto remind us that the discussion in the LGBT community of do we live in a post-Gay society is a bit premature.
Much thanks to JMG for sharing this.
PrEP studies highlight the importance of adherence
PrEP is a topic of conversation sexually active gay men should have with their doctor. While it may not make sense for everyone, understanding the impact the drug may have on you and our community is important. Recently researchers from Gilead Sciences, Truvada’s manufacturer, presented findings from their analysis of several studies at the ASM Microbe 2016 conference in Boston. This was what they learned:
An analysis of 32 studies of Truvada a.k.a. PrEP found that almost all of those who contracted HIV had undetectable or very low levels of the drug in their bodies at the time.
The takeaway message is if you choose to use PrEP and are engaging in sexually risky behavior you MUST make sure you take your medication as prescribed. You can read the full findings online here.

Furry Friday
I posted these photos of one of my favorite Provincetown drag performers a couple years ago and now that the summer is in full swing in Ptown I thought I’d share the sexy selfies once again for this week’s Furry Friday – enjoy. This guy is as talented as he is good looking.

Walt Whitman pictured with his younger lover and muse, Peter Doyle circa 1869
Keeping with the theme of prominent gay men from years past (last week I had a photo of Oscar Wilde and his lover), this week is a photo of Walt Whitman – one of America’s most celebrated poets and his muse and younger lover (he had a penchant for younger men), Peter Doyle.
Get Happy at Club Cafe
The East Coast debut Judy Garland herself (by impersonator Peter Mac) takes you on a musical journey through her life from her days in Vaudeville, to her illustrious film career at MGM, and her legendary concert comebacks in the 50’s and 60’s as well as her CBS television series. GET HAPPY! Is a theatrical experience featuring all of Garland’s standards but your chance to see this show closes later this week with the last performance on Saturday, July 2nd.
#MyFirstGayBar: Neighbours in Seattle
Since the shooting in Orlando many have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #MyFirstGayBar. The tragedy in Orlando underscores a conversation that the gay community has been having with itself for nearly a decade about the relevance or need for “community” and in particular the role of gay bars as one of the foundations of the gay community.
Boston watched their LGBT bookstores close one by one, followed by many popular gay bars in the early 2000s as the traditional enclave – the South End – saw more men leaving and more heterosexual couples moving in. In light of the Orlando shooting, which in my mind was both an act of terrorism and a hate crime, it reminds me how important it is to retain businesses that are here first and foremost to serve the local LGBT community.
#MyFirstGayBar was Neighbours Nightclub in Seattle. What was yours?
