MA State Senate approves transgender rights bill
Standing in stark contrast to North Carolina (boo, hiss) Massachusetts State Senate on Thursday approved a bill that would ban discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations. You may recall this was the source of much discontent at last month’s Boston Spirit Magazine, LGBT Executive Networking Night when keynote speaker, Gov. Charlie Baker, was booed off the stage because he wouldn’t come out in support of the bill.
The legislation expands a 2011 state law that previously banned discrimination against transgender people in the workplace and housing. The legislation now heads to the MA House where it is expected to pass and will put MA in good company, joining 17 other states and D.C. that have already banned discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations.
Hat tip to David over at WGB where I first read about this.
Do you make passes at guys who wear glasses?
Here is a little known fact about me. I find guys who wear glasses very sexy. I think it makes a guys face look so much more interesting; not to mention I’m a fan of any excuse to accessorize.
What do you think? Do you make passes at guys who wear glasses?
Blog spotlight: The Boston Gayllennial
I make no secret of the fact that I would like to see more LGBT bloggers in Boston. There are only a few of us (at least that I’m aware of) so I’d like to give a shout out to a newish blog that started earlier this year by an anonymous young man who identifies himself as “The Boston Gayllennial“.
His posts range on a variety of subject matter, providing a somewhat autobiographical account of his life and can be described as personal reflections about growing up as a gay millennial living in Boston. I enjoy reading his blog and added it to my blogroll some time ago. Check out the blog and say hello to the young man by leaving him a comment in one of his posts. I can assure you nothing motivates a blogger more than getting comments to a post you wrote.
Vintage gay
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.

Read this post if you are taking PrEP
I know a lot of gay men who are on Truvada (PrEP) and while the decision to take this daily medication is a personal choice, for those who are on this prescription drug I wanted to bring your attention to the Gilead Co-Pay Coupon Card, which could save you quite a bit of money.
Gilead asks just a few questions to determine your eligibility like are you a current resident of the US or Puerto Rico and provides some interesting benefits like covering up to $3,600 in co-pays per year with no monthly limit for TRUVADA® (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate).
Eyal Berkover spread in Instinct Magazine
Everyday this week I have 6AM conference calls with colleagues in China. This handsome photo of Eyal Berkover in Instinct Magazine certainly brightened my morning. Maybe these pictures will help you wake up too.
Here is one more. To see all the photos by photographer Angel Ruiz link here. If you like, you may also follow the handsome Israeli, Eyal, on Instagram, here. 
Scruffy Sunday
Looks like his biceps could give you a nice bear hug in the morning to get your day started. Who wouldn’t mind waking up in his embrace?
Coffee and sex
I never said I liked coffee better than sex. I said I’d had it more.

Have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog.
Furry Friday
A reader named John pointed out that I hadn’t featured a blond in quite a while so this week’s Furry Friday is for John. Hope he makes up for lost time.
Cinqo de Gayo
I’m not sure how today became an excuse for excessive drinking, but if I could remake the holiday, I’d brand it as Cinqo de Gayo and use it as an excuse to have Eliad Cohen parade around shirtless in a sombrero.
I realize Eliad has no connection to Mexico, but I feel like that isn’t really an issue. Who do I petition to get this a nationally recognized holiday in the US?

NC anti LGBT law could make the state lose hundreds of millions in Federal funding
Late yesterday the US Department of Justice (DOJ) warned North Carolina that significant aspects of the anti-LGBT legislation, officially known as House Bill 2 (HB2) violate federal civil rights law. Non-compliance with federal law could lead to North Carolina losing hundreds of millions of dollars of federal funding.
This follows the 4th Circuit’s decision that denying restroom access to trans students is sex discrimination under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act.
