Saturday morning coffee

What do you suppose this guy is pondering over his morning cup of coffee?

Furry Friday

This guy definitely puts the “furry” in Furry Friday. I miss the sun and would love to be relaxing poolside with this guy right about now.

Vintage gay

I swiped this photo from a tumblr site that posts a lot of vintage gay images. According to the post this is a photograph of two men outside of a gay club in Europe from the 1970s. Curious what ever happened to them and who’s beer that is off to the left. I do love this photo of the men embracing.

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.

Monday morning mancandy

May this photo of this gorgeous man distract you from the fact that it is a Monday morning.

Queer Tango in Boston each Monday

Did you know that every Monday evening there are weekly queer tango classes and dancing? The pandemic put a temporary halt to dancing but it has returned to The Center for Arts at the Armory in Somerville.

Advanced dancing is every Monday from 6:30 – 7:30PM and all levels are welcome to join from 7:30 – 8:30PM. Drop-ins and first-timers are always welcome to join at 7:30PM. If interested, there is more information available on the Queer Tango Boston Facebook group.

Saturday morning coffee

Thanks to Joe who pens The Closet Professor blog. He first posted this photo last fall and I swiped it knowing that it would make for a great Saturday morning coffee post. Will you (are you) spending your morning like this?

Furry Friday

Let me introduce you to Kris short for Krishnanand. He is half Indian from Calabasas but now lives in Brooklyn. He is on Instagram and Twitter if you like and want to follow him. I find him distractingly handsome and always enjoy the shirtless photos that show up in my feed.

Vintage gay

men of color, vintage men of color, black gay couple

I believe I’ve previously posted this photograph but it is so rare that I come across photos of men of color from years past I like to share them whenever I can. Based on their clothes, can anyone help identify when these two handsome men may have been photographed?

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.
