Tis the season for silver and gold so I thought I’d oblige with a Temptation Tuesday take on the holiday colors.

Monday morning mancandy

This isn’t a typical Monday morning and many of you will have the day off but for those of you who have to get up and go to work this morning, I dedicate this post to you. I hope this man’s beautiful eyes can distract you from the fact that you have to go to work.

Steve Grand, Christmas

Here is a throwback to Steve Grand’s 2015 Christmas version of All I Want For Christmas. It makes for a great Christmas-themed scruffy Sunday. For everyone celebrating the holiday, I hope you have a wonderful day.

I’m forgoing my weekly java-themed mancandy post to wish eveveryone who celebrates Christmas a wonderful holiday.

Is Cathedral Station about to close to make way for a new cannabis dispensary

UPDATE: The EBNA reported the incorrect address for the cannabis dispensary.

On Tuesday, January 3, 2023, The East Berkeley Neighborhood Association (EBNA) will host their monthly meeting online. Time has been set aside to discuss the proposal for a new cannabis dispensary at 1222 Washington Street. This address is currently home to Cathedral Station, which calls into question the future of this popular bar that serves Boston’s gay community.

If you are a resident in the neighborhood and would like to attend the EBNA neighborhood meeting, click here for the Zoom Link.

At this time, I’ve not been able to get a comment from Cathedral Station on what is happening, and I don’t want to perpetuate rumors. I don’t know when their lease is ending or the intentions of the owner Georges Market LLC. It would be sad to think the bar is closing after weathering the recent COVID-19 pandemic, but if that is the case, I do hope Cathy’s can find a new space in the South End to call home.

It would be a significant loss for Boston’s LGBTQ+ community and the South End in particular to lose another bar. Cathedral Station has been a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy since it first opened in 2014.

Much thanks to my good friend and neighbor, C.J. for sharing the EBNA monthly meeting calendar. As I learn more, I’ll be sure to share it here on my blog. If you have any information, please reach out to me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

I’m fairly certain I’ve posted this photograph in the past around this time of year. I have no idea who these two men are or what may have become of them, but I love the photo of the two of them together with their pet cat by the Christmas tree.

The Big Gay Donation: FIFA edition

Much thanks to Fearsome Beard for sharing this a few days ago. And much thanks to Miriam Margoyles for putting this together. In her educational video, Miriam points out that, luckily the wonderful upstanding people who run Football [FIFA WORLD CUP] love “donations”.

Give this clip two minutes of your time.

Did you miss seeing SIX, the very popular Broadway musical touring the US when it came to Boston earlier this year? No worries, next month SIX: The Unauthorized Dragsical a campy spoof of the current Broadway hit which offers a modern take on the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII is sure to be equal parts fun and funny.
