Monday morning mancandy

Doesn’t this guy look handsome half dressed and patiently waiting for his morning coffee so he can get ready for work.

Saturday morning coffee

Much thanks to Mike from NY who shared this photo. He never answered my question if he is one of these two men — maybe if Mike sees the post he can let us all know in the comments section.

However, his photo is too racy for my pg-13 blog, so if you want to see the unedited version, email me at bosguymail@gmail.com and I’ll send it your way.

Vintage gay

With summer now a not-so-distant memory, photos like this can be quite taunting to those of us living in Boston. The leaves here are starting to change and the days are much shorter. However, I appreciate the cheek of these three posing together. Care to take a guess when this may have been taken? Leave your best guess as a comment for all to read.

If you liked this week’s mancandy post you may want to consider checking out the Red Hot website which was started to help rebrand the male ginger stereotype and support LGBTQ+ community. You can order a copy of the 2024 Red Hot Calendar and learn more about this organization by visiting its website.

Local activist looks to create LGBTQ art and history museum in Boston

More than a decade ago Jean Dolin emigrated from Haiti to Boston (and aren’t we lucky he chose to make this city his new home). But I first heard about Jean in connection with his then-forthcoming exhibit “Portraits of Pride”, a collaboration with John Huet that featured 8-foot portraits on the Boston Common of 20+ local LGBTQ leaders.

A couple of weeks ago, Dolin once again got my attention when he announced he would begin work to create the state’s first LGBTQ art and history museum. Considering how many state governments have recently targeted the LGBTQ+ community makes such an endeavor extremely timely.

This state’s LGBTQ community has made its presence known for a long time and there is ample material for such a museum. Kudos to Dolin and his vision to create the state’s first LGBTQ museum here in Boston. I’m excited to learn more and hope his dream can become reality soon enough.

Scruffy Sunday

It has been far too long since I’ve featured the very handsome Alexander “Lex” Abramov on this blog. He recently started posting on Instagram again and a different photo from the shoot shared above can be viewed on his Instagram, here.
