This weeks photograph was taken in Rio de Janeiro at Copa Cabana Beach in the early 1980s by the famous, gay, Brazilian photographer Alair Gomes. Known for photographing gay men. He achieved notoriety and fame as the pioneer of homoerotic photography in Brazil.
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.

Saturday, November 19th, The Human Rights Campaign New England chapter will host its annual dinner and fundraiser. The event marks the chapter’s 40th anniversary and the HRC New England dinner and auction provides the LGBTQ+ community and their allies the chance to come together and celebrate as well as to organize.
In a post Dobbs world where the US Supreme Court can no longer be relied upon to guarantee protections many have taken for granted, organizing will be key to preserve the hard fought and won LGBTQ+ rights.

I almost didn’t post this photo because without any clothes and the two men looking away from the camera it is really hard to tell when this may have been taken but the photo comes from the racy Twitter profile @oldmasc, which focuses on vintage and historical images of men through the years. Anyone an expert in pool design who may be able to provide a guesstimate on when this may have been taken?
