This week’s photo comes from the blog homohistory.com. No information was provided about where or when this picture was taken but these two men photographed in an embrace look to be possibly from the 1940s. Can anyone shed some light on the photo?
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.
One of my favorite summer traditions in Boston is attending one of the free performances by the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company on the Boston Common. Last year the tradition was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year the theater company returns with a production of The Tempest. All shows are free and will begin one week from today, running through Sunday, August 8th.
For everyone’s safety, this year’s production will be streamlined with an intermission-free performance. In addition, audience size will be limited according to state and city guidelines on capacity and social distancing. Due to these capacity constraints, advanced registration is strongly recommended for ease of arrival and priority access to seating. However, walk-ups will be welcome the night of each performance. For more information, visit the Commonwealth Shakespeare Co. website.
About the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company: The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company was formed in 1996 by artistic director Steven Maler and associate Joan Moynagh to bring free, outdoor Shakespeare to the city of Boston.
I love this image despite the fact that it is a tad blurry. The photo was one of several shared with me this spring from BosGuy reader, A.M.A., who sent a number of photos of men from the 1950s and 1960s. When I saw this photograph, I immediately thought it practically begged to be captioned.
Hopefully the photo above and the caption I’ve shared below will inspire you to offer up one or two of your own. Leave a funny caption as a comment, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.
“Summer loving had me a blast Summer loving happened so fast I met a guy crazy for me Met a boy cute as can be”
I’ve copied the exhibit’s description and shared it below but the NBC article (see link above) features multiple shows taking place this summer in cities worldwide including: Berlin, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Phoenix, and Providence.
Museum of Fine Arts / Boston: In this queerified and age-embracing homage to classic 1950s and ‘60s Scopitone film reels — a precursor to music videos that played inside special jukeboxes in cocktail lounges nationwide, Samantha Nye recreates the old film shorts shot-for-shot with queer elder actors, discarding ageist and ableist definitions of sexuality and eroticism, and expanding our vision of love, sex, agency and belonging.
This week I’m featuring photos from a few of Modus Vivendi summer 2021 bathing suit lines. This fashion line consistently posts incredibly tempting photographs and aggressively markets their products to the gay community.
It is Bear Week in Provincetown so I’m sharing this picture of two bears roaming through the forest. I’m partial to the plaid kilt. The green kilt looked like a terry cloth towel until I zoomed.
