In case you missed it, earlier this month JetBlue Airlines announced that it would start flying nonstop flights from both Boston and New York City to London starting in 2021. An airline representative said that JetBlue would convert an existing order with Airbus to acquire 13 A321LR jets. These planes will be outfitted much like the Airbus planes that JetBlue flies on transcon routes but with more flat seats in their premium cabin called Mint.
Below is the image JetBlue tweeted out on April 10th to announce the new service from Boston and New York City to London.
JetBlue’s announcement comes just weeks after Delta Airlines announced their new relationship with Virgin Atlantic will add nonstop service to London’s Gatwick Airport from New York and Boston sometime in 2020.

This weeek’s photo came from the Daily Mail in the UK and suggested the photograph was taken in the 180os. I think they look quite happy together.
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.

Ryan Landry and his Gold Dust Orphans are back for their final run at the Ramrod Performing Arts Centre with The Ebonic Woman, which opens next month. The new musical is a blistering take on race in America and the walls we build around ourselves to keep the status quo.
Be sure to get your tickets for the brief run in Boston from May 2 – 26. For those who don’t live in the area, note that the spring productions typically return and run through the summer in Provincetown so like the Gold Dust Orphan Facebook page to stay up to date on details about this must see musical here in Boston and later this summer in Ptown.
Looks like Dirk has Jesse trying on some kilts in their kitchen in JP. Both Jesse and Jack look great in kilts but I have to credit Jack into getting Jesse to wear kilts out because prior to dating, I don’t know if I ever saw Jesse in a kilt.

Here is a throwback to the spring of 2002 when Sergio and I lived in Back Bay and our neighbor was raising “show bunnies”; you read that correctly by the way.
We figured this would be our only chance to be photographed with so many bunnies so we took the opportunity and made the most of it.
Tornyosi Krisztián is a distractingly handsome fitness model who lives in Budapet, Hungary. Earlier this year I featured him in this post here.
