2022 Wicked Queer Film Festival

Boston’s LGBTQ+ film festival, a.k.a. “Wicked Queer”, will return to in-person showings and will open with, Wildhood on Thursday, April 7th at The Brattle in Harvard Square.

Wicked Queer Film Festival
April 7 – 17, 2022
Tickets available starting, Friday, April 1, 2022

Boston’s 38th annual LGBTQ+ film festival, Wicked Queer will have more than 40 films over the 10-day festival with showings at The Brattle (Harvard Sq), The Bright Family Screening Room (Emerson College), and The ICA (Seaport). For those who may live further away and cannot attend in person, films will also be available on Wicked Queer’s Xerb-TV channel.

This year’s program will have nearly 20 feature films, half as many documentaries, throwbacks and shorts. I’d also like to give a shout out to my friend and fellow blogger, Matthew Rettemund, who is behind the much lauded, Boy Culture: The Series, and will be available for viewing on Xerb-TV.

Vintage gay

What a handsome couple. I love the intimacy captured as the two share a moment. I think the guy on the right has a knit tie which I believe were in fashion in the 1950s and happens to be when I think this photo may have been taken. Anyone able to date the photo based on their appearance?

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.

Limerick in honor of St. Patrick’s Day

Everyone is Irish, if only on St. Patrick’s Day, which is tomorrow, Thursday, March 17th. I’ve republished a slightly naughty limerick I wrote a few years ago in honor of the holiday.

Lim’ricks are the naughtiest prose
Dirty rhymes we love to compose 
Men from Nantucket
Shouting, “Go $uck it!”
Are fun to write I suppose

If you have a limerick you’d like to share, I’d enjoy reading it.  Feel free to e-mail me or leave it in the comments section for others to enjoy.

Pardon the plug but recent months have seen an increase in new visitors and for those who regularly check out my blog and enjoy the content I have an ask (well actually 3).

  • Subscribe to get blog posts emailed directly to your inbox.
  • Facebook users please like my Facebook page, here and share my posts.
  • Like and share blog posts – it helps me spread the word.

I know that I said I had three asks, but in today’s ADHD world, four asks is just a bridge too far. I’d also like to give a plug for Twitter. Retweets and Likes here also rock. You can follow me @BosGuy.

Monday morning mancandy

Say hello to Lucien Laviscount. If you are watching Emily in Paris on Netflix you are probably familiar with this handsome 29 year old actor.

Scruffy Sunday

It has been too long since I last featured a photo of Lex Abramov. Here is a throwback to a previous Scruffy Sunday post in 2019 with Lex and his handsome boyfriend, Brett Andrew Miles in bed together.

Saturday morning coffee

I can’t wait for winter to be over and for the weather to warm up so I can sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee like this guy.

Furry Friday

Much thanks to the Fearsome Beard for posting this handsome photo last year. This guy makes for a great Furry Friday post.
