Vintage gay

Posted on August 19, 2021 | 3 comments

I want to thank BosGuy blog reader, Angel, who sent this photo as a suggestion for this weekly post. I think it works beautifully. I do wish the photo was more clear to better see what appears to be two very handsome young men under a tree, side-by-side in a half embrace while enjoying a pipe. It looks as if the guy on the right has on a wedding band which makes me wonder if it is two men enjoying time together as friends or maybe something more. Any thoughts on when this photo may have been taken based on their clothing and haircuts?

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.

Caption this photo

Posted on August 18, 2021 | 10 comments

Much thanks to reader and friend, Jim Lundy, for sharing this photo which comes from the always funny @intosporty IG account. I can’t figure out why this guy has only one hand gloved nor why his left hand isn’t the one that is gloved?

Hopefully the caption I’ve shared below inspires you to offer up one or two of your own. Leave a funny caption in the comment section, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.

“What exactly are you massaging?”

Saturday morning coffee

Posted on August 14, 2021 | 2 comments

Earlier this summer I posted a photo of Neri Niccolo as a Temptation Tuesday, which proved to be very popular (go figure) so I thought I’d share this photo of the Italian hunk enjoying a cup of coffee.

Vintage gay

Posted on August 12, 2021 | Leave a comment

I may have previously shared this photo. It looks vaguely familiar but I didn’t see it after doing a brief but not a thorough check of fairly recent posts. It is difficult to find quality photos of men of color from years past – let alone those of same sex couples. It is hard to say if these men are romantically linked but they certainly would make for a handsome couple. Any thoughts on when this was taken? My guess is in the 1950s.

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.
