Looks like quite a party. I can’t say that I’m a fan of the saggy and baggy bathing suits these guys are wearing but I’m hoping someone can date the photograph based on the swimwear.

Tony from Tennessee

Posted on August 2, 2023 | 10 comments

I considered Tony a friend. News of his death was a shock but not completely surprising. I hadn’t been able to connect with him since early May and suspected something had happened. I’d left several messages that went unanswered and anyone who knows Tony would know that’s unlike him. As a result, I had a sense of impending dread, but as long as there was no news, I could assume he might suddenly ring me while driving home after being with the Attorney or returning from an errand.

For those who didn’t know him, Tony was a painter by profession but a writer at heart. He grew up poor in rural Tennessee and he had one great love, someone I only know as “The Attorney”. Tony and I initially met because we both wrote blogs and had a slight obsession with Twitter. His first blog included some unbelievably heartfelt stories about his adolescence and sexual awakening, his mother who passed away far too early (much like him), his distant father, and his aging grandmother (a.k.a. Granny) who he took care of until she passed.

It may seem strange to mourn a person I never met in person and who lived a 1,000 miles away, but we became friends over the years. It breaks my heart to think about his tragic death and his life partner who he leaves behind. Rest in peace my friend. You are very much loved and very much missed.

Donelan: Drawing on the gay experience

Posted on August 1, 2023 | 1 comment

Drawing On The Gay Experience: A Retrospective of a Life in Art

An interesting retrospective art show dedicated to Gerard P. Donelan, a trailblazing LGBT cartoonist, showcasing his iconic creations and a collection of rarely before-seen drawings and paintings, will take place from July 5th – August 31st at Jameson & Thompson Picture Framers storefront located at 18 Bartlett Square in Jamaica Plain.

Donelan is perhaps best known for his cartoon, “It’s a Gay Life,” which ran in The Advocate for 15 years. Donelan lampooned the gay “clone” culture of San Francisco’s Castro district, helped raise awareness about safe sex practices and the threat of AIDS, and in 2015 was selected as a distinguished panelist at the inaugural Queers & Comics conference, where he was celebrated as one of the “Pioneers of Queer Men’s Comics.”

Jameson and Thompson will be hosting an opening reception on Thursday, August 3rd, from 6-8 PM.

Boston Gaymers: Queer Board Game Night

Posted on July 30, 2023 | Leave a comment

Did you know that each Monday the LGBTQ+ social group Boston Gaymers meet at Club Cafe for their weekly Queer Board Game Night?

The event has grown in popularity and seating is assigned based on tickets sold so if you are coming with a friend or group, it is recommended that you purchase tickets for your entire party rather than individually. This will help ensure you can sit together. Additionally, organizers recommend larger groups arrive 30 minutes early to ensure you can find seating together.

If you’d like to attend this week’s Queer Board Game Night on Monday, July 31, please RSVP (there is a $5 fee per reservation).

You can learn more about this social group by visiting their website, bostongaymers.com.

BosGuy brain teaser

Posted on July 28, 2023 | 15 comments
riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.

This week’s riddle: If a brown house is made of brown bricks, and a blue house is made of blue bricks, what is a green house made of?

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Like riddles? Check out past week’s brain teasers.
