While the entire world fixates on Brazil for the next few weeks to watch World Cup, America will barely take note. Perhaps this photo of this handsome Brazilian might get your attention. Hexa Campeao!
Last week I wrote a post about all the programs and events that have caught my eye for Boston Pride 2014. With Pride celebrations final weekend nearly upon us, I thought I’d share some of the events / programs that get a thumbs up from me.
Thursday, June 12th: Pride Night at Fenway Park or Cathedral Station Grand Opening
If you have not purchased tickets for Pride Night at Fenway Park a great Plan B is to swing by Cathedral Station (formerly Red Fez) on their opening night. This is Boston’s newest gay sports bar. Cathedral Station has free parking, affordable drinks and a game room with plenty of TVs to cheer on the Red Sox.
Friday, June 13th: Fur & Gold Pride Edition at The Alley
I’ll confess I’m not a dancer so I’m not sure if I’ll attend but this can be a fun party with good music, affordable drinks and no attitude. This is not an official Pride event so for details check out the Fur and Gold Facebook Page.
Friday, June 
13th: Stoplight Party at dBar in Dorchester
If Fur & Gold isn’t your scene, dBar will be full of twinks & 20-somethings. Party Details Here
Saturday, June 14th: Boston Pride Parade, Chandler Street Block Party and House of Blues Main Event with DJ Abel
The Boston Pride parade starts one hour earlier this year at 11AM and is free and open to the public. Check out the annual Chandler Street Block Party from 1:30 – 7 PM ($15 – proceeds go to The AIDS Action).
Saturday, June 14th: House of Blues: Epic Saturday w/ DJ Abel and Paradise Pride Bash
Should you have the energy, the largest party in town will be at Boston’s House of Blues, where DJ Abel will whip everyone into a frenzy or if HOB isn’t your scene but you want to dance check out Paradise in Cambridge but get there early because the line to get into both places will be ridiculous.
Sunday, June 15th: Back Bay Block Party 12PM – 8PM
This is possibly the best block party Boston hosts all year and is worth attending. Enter on the corner of Stuart and Berkeley Street. A $15 donation is requested with all proceeds going to the Boston Pride Committee.
Local photographer, Stephen Baumbach, hosted his one-night Boston Pride Retrospective at Back Bay Harry’s last night. I wanted to thank Stephen for his hard work and sharing the images as well as Boston Pride and Back Bay Harry’s (with special thanks to Harry Collings) for helping to make this happen on such short notice.
Boston.com was on hand to photograph the event featured it today on their website. You can check out the photos from last night’s show on Boston.com, here.
This was my favorite photograph from the show.

Cathedral Station opens tomorrow night starting at 7PM on Thursday. I’ll be cheering on the Red Sox at the Boston Pride event Out at Fenway.
If you are not going to be at Fenway Park tomorrow, check out the South End’s newest bar and Boston’s latest Gay Bar to open.
Cathedral Station is at 1222 Washington Street in the South End and has free parking in the back.

Don’t miss Heels for Hope at BoMA Restaurant and Bar at 1415 Washington St. tonight. So grab some pumps (mental note I need to get to Boomerang’s South End to get some shoes), and come down to BoMA with friends for a fun evening. More details about Boston’s first annual Heels for Hope can be found on their Facebook page, here.

Tonight stop by Club Cafe’s weekly drag bingo, hosted by Constance Waverly and The Boston Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Club Cafe Drag Bingo
TONIGHT from 7:00 – 11:00 PM
Benefiting Camp Lightbulb
Constance and the Sisters (as I like to refer to them) will entertain and make you laugh, all while raising money for Camp Lightbulb, a summer camp for LGBT youth. For more information about drag bingo at Club Cafe visit the Facebook event page, here.

Too naughty or risque for my pg-13 list of blog posts? I figured I’d risk it, because he is so darn handsome.
Here is my post in honor of the Belmont Stakes.
C’mon California Chrome!
Welcome to the 21st Century Wisconsin
Today U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled against Wisconsin’s constitutional amendment banning marriage equality, making Wisconsin the twelfth state to see such a ban struck down in federal court since the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its historic marriage rulings last June. Details here.
Happy Pride Indeed
Looks like he has a green thumb. I wonder what other talents he has.
I don’t normally write about events on Fire Island but the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) is a great and worthy organization I’m only too happy to promote. I also know a lot of guys who read this blog spend time on Fire Island so I wanted to give this fun summer party that helps raise money for GLSEN a shout out.
If you’re not going to be on Fire Island that weekend but have friends who will be – pass the post or information along to them.
Event Details Saturday, July 12 from 1-4PM 135 Beach Hill, Fire Island PinesTickets are $50: Buy your tickets here
Boston Pride officially kicks off tomorrow at 12PM at City Hall when Mayor Walsh and The Boston Pride Committee raise the Rainbow Flag. Multiple official and unofficial events transpire each day through Sunday, June 15th when Boston Pride officially closes. Here are a few programs that get thumbs up from BosGuy.
Tuesday, June 10th: Boston Pride Retrospective at Back Bay Harry’s from 5-9 PM
Check out this ‘pop-up’ one night only art show that features a collection of Boston Pride photos from local photographer, Stephen Baumbach. This is actually an event I helped organize so I’m a bit biased but I hope to see you there. More Details Here
Wednesday, June 11th: Heels for Hope at BoMA Restaurant and Bar starts at 7 PM
This first annual party is an unofficial event that will help raise awareness and money for BAGLY so slip on some pumps and strut over to BoMA for some fun and guaranteed laughs. Have any questions about the event? Check out their Facebook page. More Details Here
