Vintage gay

This came from the Vintage LGBTS tumblr account. The author indicated the photo was taken in the 1920s. Both men appear to be smooching a watch and the guy on the right has a wedding ring so maybe this was all in good fun, but either way it still makes a great photograph.

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.

First Event returns to Boston

First Event is one of the longest running conferences in the U.S. for transgender and gender expansive people and those who love and support them. The conference was cancelled in 2021 due to COVID-19, but this year a scaled back 41st First Event returns to Boston returns to the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.

Because the COVID test positivity rate in Boston is currently over 6%, and to minimize risk of transmission, First Event will be eliminating all programming that would normally be held in small or crowded spaces or that would encourage close contact. However, coming together as a community is also important so to strike the right balance two events will take place on Friday, January 14th and Saturday, January 15th with several safeguards put in place which are detailed here.

Both Friday’s Trans Celebration Dinner & Fashion Show as well as Saturday’s banquet will have significantly limited registration (<1/3 of the capacity of the Grand Ballroom). The entertainment portion of events will be live-streamed for free and the conference will facilitate organization of informal daytime meetups to explore Boston in small groups.

For more information about this organiztion, the annual conference and / or to get tickets to the Celebration Dinner and / or Banquet visit, firstevent.org.

Men in kilts

Here is another great photo of two gay travelers, Stefan & Sebastien, whom I love to follow on Twitter. You might recognize them by their handle @NomadicBoys. They certainly look very dapper in their kilts. You can also see Stefan teasing Sebastien grocery shopping in a kilt in this cute video from their IG account. Which just goes to show you there is a kilt for every occassion and task.

2022 North American gay ski week calendar

After last year’s hiatus, I wanted to resume my tradition of sharing a calendar of ski weeks organized here in New England and North America. However, it goes without saying that you should continue to check ahead because of COVID.

Here is the 2022 calendar of gay ski celebrations as the circuit moves from beaches to slopes. I also want to give OutRyders – New England’s largest gay ski club a shout out to those in the area. If I’ve missed a ski week, please share in the comments.

Aspen Gay Ski Week: January 16-23, 2022  This week long celebration is the biggest and oldest of its kind starting back in 1977 and has grown significantly over the years.

Winter Rendezvous at Stowe, VT: January 19-23, 2022 This is New England’s largest (and longest running) gay ski week. Boston’s  gay ski club, OutRyders (mentioned above) will help members organize and logistics.

Whistler Pride & Ski Festival: January 23 – 30, 2022  This annual tradition started 30 years ago in 1992, and it offers plenty of activities. If you’re coming from the US enjoy the favorable exchange rate.

Pride “WOW” weekend at Sunday River, ME: February 4 6, 2022 Hosted by OutRyders this weekend is light on programming and heavy on getting outside to enjoy the snow. This is mostly attended by the New England LGBTQ community.

Elevation Utah Gay Ski Week at Park City: February 23 – 27, 2022 While Utah isn’t exactly “gay friendly”, this will be the 12th anniversary and each year the event grows in popularity.

Elevation Mammoth Gay Ski Week: March 16 – 20 2022 The Elevation Ski Week brand started 20 years ago at Mammoth Mountain and attracts mostly a west coast crowd.

*** *** ***

Elevation Tremblant Gay Ski Week takes place in late January in Quebec, but it will not occur this year. The website indicates this fun gay ski week will return in 2023.

Big Gay Jay Weekend at Jay’s Peak, VT no word on if this annual ski weekend run by The OutRyders at Jay’s Peak in southern Vermont will occur but it typically takes place in March.

Scruffy Sunday

One smooth. One Trimmed. Both bearded and adorable. Enjoy this week’s Scruffy Sunday.

Vintage gay

Nothing like ringing in the New Year with a smooch in a hot tub with someone special. Sadly that won’t be in the cards for me this year, but I’ll add it to my list of things to do in 2022. Unsure when or where this may have happened. It’s one of many photos published a few years ago from Gay Star News. And yes, I have the undoctored photo – it’s just a little too hot to post here, but I’m happy to share it.

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.
