Vintage gay

Thanks to the printout atop the photo we can see this photograph was taken in March 1963 and based on their dress we can assume they are somewhere warm, which sounds pretty wonderful to me right about now. What do you think of this week’s photo?

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.

Saturday morning coffee

I’m continuing with my bearish theme, that I started with this morning’s humorous Saturday morning comic post. It’s far too chilly today to be in the buff enjoying a morning cup of coffee here in Boston.

I’ll post the unedited version on my Twitter feed later this morning at @bosguy.

Furry Friday

This week’s Furry Friday looks like he could keep you warm and happy. Much thanks to Fearsome Beard who first shared this blue-eyed hunk last month.

Vintage gay

Much thanks to Matthew Rettenmund who writes the boyculture blog for letting me know about DJMag.com article, It takes a village, people: preserving San Francisco’s gay disco history. It is a great article filled with many photos from that era that I encourage you to read or at a minimum visit and scroll through the images included in the article.

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.
