Monday morning mancandy

May this week’s post distract you from the fact it is a Monday.

Scruffy Sunday

In honor of 2022 Bear Week in Provincetown, which started yesterday, I wanted to feature this handsome guy.

If you’re in Ptown for 2022 Bear Week, have a great time.

Vintage gay: Loving Documentary

Hugh Nini, Neal Treadwell

I first wrote about Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell after they published their book, Loving: History of Men in Love 1850s – 1950s. Since then more than a few of their photos have found their way into my weekly Vintage Gay post. Now Hugh and Neil have collaborated with their friend Jackie Hoegger to create a short documentary chronicling reactions from around the world to their book, “LOVING A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s – 1950s” you can watch here.

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.

Vintage gay

Thank you to BosGuy blog reader, Frank, for sharing this photo. I can’t help but imagine that this was taken in Central Park in the 1920s or maybe 30s but it’s a total guess. Can you tell me anything about this couple sneaking a smooch in the park?
