Vintage gay

Thoughts on when this photo may have been taken? I love the intimacy of their pose. Who can say what their story was but I can tell you I have have a slight crush on the guy on the left. He has beautiful eyes.

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. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Say hello to Bulgarian fitness model, Vladislav Gerasimov. This isn’t the first time I’ve posted a photo of him. He was a mancandy post last October (check him out here).

50th Anniversary: SpeakOUT Boston

HONORING THE POWER OF LGBTQ+ STORIES

Did you know that Boston founded the Gay Speakers Bureau just a couple years following the Stonewall Rebellion, to give our community a voice and through that voice, help open minds? For the past 50 years SpeakOUT Boston speakers have continued that tradition. This year’s milestone anniversary will be celebrated by recognizing the work that Warren Blumenfeld and Michael Bobbitt have done to help amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ people and other marginalized communities.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO PURCHASE TICKETS

ABOUT THIS YEARS HONOREES

Warren Blumenfeld has had a long career as a social justice activist and academic and currently teaches at UMass Amherst. He and another speaker, Diane Raymond, co-wrote the first gay and lesbian textbook used at the college level, Looking at Gay and Lesbian Life. His books include Homophobia: How We all Pay the Price and The What, the So What and the Now What of Social Justice Education.

Michael Bobbitt is the Executive Director of the Mass Cultural Council (MCC) and is on the board of the New England Foundation for the Arts. His earlier years in the arts were as a playwright, director, and choreographer with productions at Arena Stage, Ford’s Theatre, The Shakespeare Theatre Company, The Kennedy Center and many other stages. Michael has been at the forefront of challenging the arts administration field to build anti-racist practices and policies and to create more inclusive arts organizations.

Portraits of Pride in Boston

Portraits of Pride is an LGBTQ Photography Exhibition currently on display at the Boston Common. The exhibit, which pays tribute to LGBTQ History Month (which is this month), will run through October 29th. The exhibit which is free and open to the public is comprised of 8-foot tall portraits of local LGBTQ leaders taken by world-renowned photographer John Huet. 

This one-of-a-kind exhibit honors the rich history of Boston’s LGBTQ+ community and the many contributions the area’s LGBTQ+ leaders have made to the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights in Massachusetts and beyond. An additional installation of the portraits is also exhibited on the Gallery Wall of Seaport Square located at 60 Seaport Blvd. in Boston.
