It has been far too long since I’ve shared a photo of this handsome, former math teacher from Italy turned model, Pietro Boselli.
This week’s post is dedicated to my good friend Laura in Austin.
Lots happening in Boston for the last full week of September. The Mass Bears and Cubs are hosting their monthly social at Cathedral tonight. Boston Drag Gauntlet is back on Tuesday with their 3rd program, Boston’s Men of Melanin are hosting a social called Boys Night Out in the South End on Thursday – just to name a few options this week.

Celebration to benefit Fenway Health AIDS Action Committee
Mark your calendars, because next Saturday, September 28th the new Encore Boston Harbor resort will host it’s first tea dance, with proceeds raised going to benefit Fenway Health AIDS Action Committee.
What: Tea Dance to benefit AAC
When: Saturday, September 28 from 3PM to Sunset
Where: Encore Boston Casino
More Info & RSVP: encorebostonharbor.com/hightea
Encore’s first ever ‘hightea’ outdoor tea dance party will run from 3 p.m. until sunset and will be hosted by Yuhua Hamasaki of RuPaul’s Drag Race, with celebrity DJs Dania Sea of Showtime’s The L Word and L’Duke spinning a unique mix of tunes. A portion of the proceeds from each ‘CommuniTea’ signature cocktail sold will benefit Fenway Health AIDS Action Committee.
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 summer I got to meet this handsome guy when he visited New England for the first time with a mutual friend of mine. They arrived in Boston the day before Bear Week and crashed at our home for a night before hopping on the ferry to Provincetown the next afternoon.
