Scruffy Sunday
Vintage gay
“Pals Forever” is scrawled on this photo of two “pals” in what I’m going to guess was taken in the 1950s. Any thoughts on when this photo of these two dapper men was taken?
I dedicate this weekly post, featurging 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.

According to the Madrid-based model agency, Solu Management, Ignacio, who goes by the nickname Nacho, is an engineer who works in the defense industry so it would seem that he’s more than just a pretty face.
Ignacio has a passion for fitness and modeling, which is something that can clearly be seen if you start to follow his Instagram account.

Michelle Obama’s inspiring message at the DNC
If you read or watch only one thing today, watch this five minute excerpt from Michelle Obama’s 2020 DNC speech last night. The quiet one-on-one setting gave an intimacy to her words and hit home. Below, I’ve included text from part of her speech, that really resonated with me and I hope inspires you.
If you plan on voting by mail this year, do so now or as early as possible, then follow up to make sure your vote is counted. Speak to your friends and family and encourage them to vote in this election because, to quote Mrs. Obama. “if you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don’t make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it.”
“Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is.”

The Boton Project podcast presents: The Usual Unusual
The inaugural production of this new podcast series is an audio recording of writer MJ Halberstadt’s play, The Usual Unusual. The first two installments are now available. Take a listen to the introduction and subscribe today.
The Usual Unusual centers on a scrappy, quaint LGBTQ bookstore in Boston.
The future of the bookstore, which has served the community since the 70s, comes into question when the store’s charismatic founder announces his retirement. But rather than close the doors, the owner is persuaded to let the staff run the store, but this is easier said than done. The staff’s efforts to unite – or simply coordinate a weekly reading night –stoke generational disputes about identity, community, and trauma.
About The Boston Project and podcast series: The SpeakEasy Stage Company has developed a podcast series as an extension of The Boston Project, The Company’s new works initiative that supports local playwrights in the creation and development of new plays set in and around Boston. Developed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the podcast is a safe way to give voice to local playwrights and continue the development of new works until it is safe for artists to be back in the theatre.
