Furry Friday
Much thanks to BosGuy reader, John Flanagan, for sharing this photo as a suggested Furry Friday. I’m unsure who this handsome model is but he certainly is distracting.
Vintage gay
The grainy photo makes it difficult to see the photo but they appear to be on a boat or by the water and very happy together. Despite the aging photos spots and deterioration, it is easy to see that they appear relaxed and happy. Anyone have a clue when this photograph 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.

Men in kilts
This week’s post is a departure from photos of men in kilts to share a picture the French artist, Albron, shared in time for St. Patrick’s Day this year. I thought it worthy of sharing. I featured Albron’s Instagram account earlier in March and it seemed popular so I hope you enjoy this week’s playful post.

This week’s mancandy post is suitably distracting to help you forget it is Monday morning.

Much thanks to my friend Jim L. who shared this photo with me. I love it when you get a photo with a note like this one shared between these two men. The note of love reads like poetry. It makes me want to know more about the man [NE] who wrote this and what happened to these two men.
“Only to hold your hand in mine. Make me forget my tears. Hope on my pathway seems to shine. The sad world appears when in your eye love light I see all the sad world is true telling me that you are to me all that I am to you. NE”

Tristan Cameran Harper is a former professional hockey player turned photographer and Scottish mountain guide. He wears a kilt quite nicely, and I would recommend he continue to model kilts without a shirt. He also has a pretty spectacular Instagram account with some breathtaking images of Scotland, here. If Instagram isn’t for you, you can also check him out on Twitter, here.

Saturday morning coffee
I stumbled upon this photo of Michael who is a student and loves to play video games in his spare time. I think he looks adorable with this coffee mug in hand.
Bay Windows is for sale
New England’s largest LGBTQ+ newspaper is for sale
Co-publishers Sue O’Connell and Jeff Coakley are putting New England’s LGBTQ+ newspaper, Bay Windows (and its sister publication South End News) up for sale according to this post on Facebook, this article in Bay Windows, and this article in yesterday’s Boston Globe.
Jim Hoover was Bay Windows first publisher when the newspaper started printing in 1985. He sold the newspaper in the early 2000s to O’Connell and Coakley who have been the co-publishing this weekly paper ever since. In its heyday this was a weekly publication that everyone read. My personal favorite was the missed connections and personals in the back – they could be hilarious to read. For decades, Bay Windows was the source for openings (and closings), LGBTQ+ events and programming, and news that was important to the community. Case in point, everyone read Bay Windows in the early 2000s when Massachusetts became ground zero in the Marriage Equality debate and those first couple years following the State Supreme Court ruling.
While it is sad to read that Bay Windows is up for sale, and I wonder about its future, I do wish Sue O’Connell and Jeff Coakley much luck. Their work and dedication to this paper helped enrich and enliven the LGBTQ+ gay community, and I feel a debt of gratitude toward them.

Furry Friday
I contemplated sharing this as a “Caption this Photo” post, which I publish each Wednesday, but I opted to post as a Furry Friday. What do you think? I think he looks equal parts cute and sexy.
