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.

Much thanks to blogger, Tony, for suggesting this photo as a Furry Friday.
Former Apprentice reality television personality, Sanjay Sood-Smith, shared an interesting opinion in Attitude Magazine. Sanjay discusses in his opinion piece why being out at work can transform your life and career (and has for him).
I first came out at work in the late 1990s shortly before I met Sergio and it is hard for me to imagine what my career and life (which at times have been incredibly entwined) would be like if I was unable or fearful of being out at work.
I realize that the ability to feel comfortable being out in your workplace and not having to worry about reprisals or being held back from promotion can depend on where you live and perhaps the kind of work you do, but that isn’t always the case. I know a few people in my office who have made a conscious decision to remain in the closet. Are you out at work? Do you also know people in your place of work who have decided to remain in the closet?

Don’t believe me read up on Rock Hudson and his life (shown above). Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

I have teamed up with my friend, Fernando DeOliveira, who is an artist and gallery owner to present an art show that will open during Boston Pride on Thursday, June 2nd. The Boston Pride theme of Solidarity Through Pride served as the inspiration for the artists to create their work and the South End, Alternative Art Space Gallery will showcase these works from local LGBT artists (many of whom have never shown their work before).
OPENING CHAMPAGNE RECEPTIONS:
Thursday, June 2, 5–9 p.m. & Friday, June 3, 5–9 p.m.
Mark the opening champagne receptions in your calendars and join me on Thursday, June 2nd and / or Friday, June 3rd (coinciding with First Friday) to see the great work and support these local LGBT artists. Recently Patrick Lentz submission arrived at the gallery (shown below). Like the event’s Facebook page for more information and to see the artists’ works as they arrive.
