This photo from the Tom’s Hotel in Berlin seems like an appropriate post for what would’ve / should’ve been the final day of Boston Pride Week.

Scruffy Sunday
Saturday morning coffee
Today would’ve been Boston Pride’s parade celebrating 50 yearts of Pride but sadly it was postponed so I thought I’d amp up the gay factor with this photo of the handsome Terry Miller sipping coffee in Tom of Finland bedsheets.

Furry Friday
I have serious chest envy with this week’s post (well actually I think I envy everything I can see about this guy). I wonder what is it like to have such distracting genetics?
Vintage gay
This week’s photo comes from the Gods and Foolish Grandeur blog.
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.
This week on Instagram: boston.pride
This was meant to be a celebratory week in Boston. Boston’s 50th Pride celebration was scheduled to take place this week, culminating in a parade and bunch of block parties like the photo shown above. Unfortunately, concerns about public health due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak forced organizers to cancel the celebration and delay the celebration until next June.
In honor of Boston Pride and the LGBTQ community here in Boston I wanted to feature the Boston Pride Instagram account. If you don’t already follow them, check out their account.

Happy Pride Boston
This year Boston Pride celebrations have been cancelled and the parties, events and fundraisers not to mention the massive parade and block parties will not happen, but that doesn’t mean that Pride is cancelled. Walking through the South End in Boston it makes me happy to see so many Pride flags, because to borrow a few lines from a favorite book of mine,
“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before!
‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, ‘doesn’t come from a store.’ “
While I appreciate that corporate America wants to show their support and are very visible during Pride Week, that is not what the celebration is all about and this year (what would’ve been the 50th anniversary of Boston Pride), maybe it would be good if we all stopped to think about why Pride remains relevant.
Celebrate Pride in your own way. Be proud. Speak up for our community and for all marginalized communities, because we are stronger together.
Happy Pride
Temptation Tuesday
This week would’ve been Boston Pride’s 50th anniversary but unfortunately the week long celebration had to be cancelled and postponed to next June so I thought I’d share a Pride themed Temptation Tuesday this week.
Monday morning mancandy
May this morning’s post distract you from the fact that it is a Monday morning.
Grindr announces they will remove “ethnicity” filter
Against the backdrop of national protests in response to George Floyd’s murder by Minneapolis police, last week Grindr announced that the company will remove its ‘ethnicity filter’.
The change comes after the company was shamed on social media following its tweet on May 29th saying, “Demand justice. #BlackLivesMatter”. Following that tweet, Grindr was accused of being a hypocrite with one message saying “remove the ethnicity filter” retweeted 1,000 times. Grindr later deleted its tweet and posted a new message explaining its change of position (see below).
Several years ago I was frustrated after seeing and hearing too many men engaging in what I’ll refer to as “sexual racism” on apps like Grindr and in casual discussions out at bars and around town. It bothered me so much that I shared my thoughts in my 2014 post, Sexual racism: When does your preference become racist.
Scruffy Sunday
Time to rise and shine sleepy head.
Saturday morning coffee
It looks like these three guys are pouring you a cup of coffee. I’d be tempted to respond to “How do you take your coffee?”, with a flippant reply like, “accompanied by troublemaker with abs.” – just saying.
