Set your phasers to stunning, because dbar’s first tea dance of 2016 will be Out of This World! Think sexy astronauts, naughty aliens, and disco planets—all species are welcome to teleport in for beverages and beats by DJ Stevie Psyclone.
The party is hosted by DotOut, Dorchester’s LGBTQ neighborhood association with all proceeds will benefit local charities. Beam me up, hottie!

Have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog.
Such a handsome couple and cute photo. I posted this a few years ago after a reader shared it with me and I thought it was time to dust it off and re-post.
Murray Bartlett, Lauren Weedman, Raúl Castillo, Jonathan Groff, and Frankie J. Alvarez in Looking: The Movie (2016)
One month from today on Saturday, July 23rd HBO will air a long anticipated finale to the short lived gay drama, Looking.
In the movie trailer, Patrick returns to San Francisco to attend a friend’s wedding after having moved away. When he sees his former boyfriends old feelings emerge and the closure he thought he had now doesn’t seem so clear. Earlier this week HBO released the trailer, and it made the rounds on many gay blogs, but if you’ve yet to see it, check it out here.
More information on the series here, www.hbo.com/looking.
Oscar Wilde with his lover Sir Alfred Douglas circa 1893 before their trial
This week’s post features one of my favorite writers of all time, Oscar Wilde, with his lover, Sir Alfred Douglas before Oscar was imprisoned for “gross indecency”. Whatever our issues are today, we have it far easier than those who came before us, and I always make it a point to remind myself how lucky I am.
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is Basket.
Basket (ˈbaskət/noun)
Definition: A reference to the outline of the male genital area as viewed through pants, swimsuit or underwear – also commonly referred to as “package”.
Example: I could distinctly see a VPL on that guy’s package when he walked by.
Time to get out of bed and start your day.
My good friend wrote a call to action blog post earlier this week in reaction to the violence in Orlando last weekend and I wanted to share it.
Read and share: You Think You Know.
FACT: One of the survivors of the Orlando shooting could be fired from their job or kicked out of their apartment simply for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Throughout most of Florida, it is legal to fire someone or deny them access to housing or public accommodations because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).
Couldn’t resist sharing a photo of Justin and Nick having coffee in bed.

Fenway Health is looking for interested participants to join the AMP Study (Antibody Mediated Prevention). This is a national study that will enroll 2,700 men and transgender individuals who have sex with men. The concept behind the study is to give people antibodies to see if they will protect them from getting infected with HIV. This is the first study of its kind, testing whether antibodies can prevent HIV infections.
Qualified participants will be compensated up to $1800 for their time. Learn more about the AMP study by watching the video below or visiting the Fenway Health AMP Study 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.
