Vintage gay
I love this week’s photo for two reasons. First, I can’t help but think these guys look so happy and relaxed together but also because I love when there are photographs with a car. Automobiles can help date when a picture was taken. Anyone out there recognize this car and able to guess when the picture may have been taken?
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.
Men in kilts
I’m so incredibly distracted by this week’s photo from David Vance it is ridiculous.
Monday morning mancandy
Although I never watched the reality show, Survivor, I’m assuming there are plenty of people who do (or have) and will recognize this former contestant, Michael Yerger, who appeared on the show in 2018. He makes for the perfect piece of mancandy and I hope you find this a pleasant distraction.

Vintage gay
These two certainly make for a handsome couple. I love how the guy on the right rests his chin on the shoulder of the other man. One reason I like these posts is I love to make up stories in my head about who the people are or imagine what they might be thinking when they are being photographed. In this case, I can’t help but think they look so happy and relaxed together in the photo. Anyone care to guess when this may have been taken? I’m at a loss.

ManRay nightclub eyes October opening
ManRay owner, Don Holland, says this time ManRay will really reopen
ManRay (on gay nights Campus) was a popular fetish bar that operated near Central Square from 1985 – 2005. It closed fifteen years ago to make way for condominiums, but last week the local newspaper, Cambridge Day, reported that the popular nightclub appears poised to reopen – not far from the club’s original location. The newspaper reported that ManRay owner, Don Holland, was awarded a liquor license by Cambridge and a 2:00AM closing time for 40 Prospect Street. The space was previously used by Improv Boston but has been empty since they vacated in November 2020.
This is not the first time rumors have swirled about a reopening of this popular bar. Back in 2013 I wrote about how the bar would reopen later in the summer, but that never happened. This time, the space seems to be a better fit and the paperwork with the city of Cambridge appears to be in order. The only question on my mind is if the much loved club reopens, will Campus (gay nights) also return.
Stay tuned. I’l let you know when there is more to share.
Monday morning mancandy
Alex Crockford is a CrossFit trainer from the U.K.
I think he makes for a fantastic Mancandy Monday post. What do you think?
Saturday morning coffee
Much thanks to Seduced by the New for making me aware of this photo, which is perfect for the weekly Saturday morning coffee post.
