gay male couple, 19th century gay menI 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?

Provincetown International Film Festival June 13-17

gay film, lgbtq film, independent filmThe annual Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF) opens today.  Now in its 21st successful year, PIFF is the largest cultural event in lower Cape Cod and a premier cultural event, attracting 10,000 plus film-goers, movie buffs, and arts patrons.

This 5-day festival will showcase 45 features and 29 short films. Twenty-seven of the 70+ films were directed by women, reflecting the festival’s strong commitment to women-directed films (something Hollywood doesn’t champion despite lip service provided at the podiums of award shows).

This year Sean Baker will receive PIFF’s 2018 Filmmaker on the Edge and Molly Shannon and Chloe Grace Moretz will receive PIFF’s Excellence in Acting award. For more information and to get tickets visit their website at provincetownfilm.org.

brenton photography, Phoenix KeatingBack in early April my friend and photographer, Brenton, took several photos (including the one shown above) of this handsome man. Needless to say I was hooked and started following Phoenix right away. His IG profile more or less says it all, “Look I spend too much time at the gym so this is pretty much just half (to full) naked photos of me.”

Phoenix doesn’t disappoint with lots of photos of him in and around Australia either working out or at the beach, but decide for yourself by taking a peek at his account and seeing what you think. BTW, there are a few more shots of Phoenix at my friend, Brenton’s, account, brentonparryphotography.

Boston world premiere of Moulin Rouge extended

bosarts, Emerson Colonial Theatre, Boston Theater, Broadway in BostonSince the early spring I’ve been writing about the reopening of Boston’s historic Colonial Theatre and the world premiere of Moulin Rouge The Musical, which will open in the remodeled theater before heading to Broadway. Last week the organizers announced that the show would be extended (no longer closing on August 5th) and will now run from June 27 to August 19th.

The newly refurbished box office at 106 Boylston Street will open to the public for in-person purchases next week on Monday, June 18, starting at 10AM. In addition to these 16 performances, a new block of seats has been released for performances during the original engagement dates through August 5, 2018.

Set in Montmartre Quarter of Paris, France at the turn of the century, a world of indulgent beauty and unparalleled extravagance, of bohemians and aristocrats, of boulevardiers and mademoiselles, Moulin Rouge! The Musical tells the fictional story of an ambitious, lovesick writer, Christian (Aaron Tveit), and a dazzling, entrancing chanteuse, Satine (Karen Olivo). Their lives collide at the Moulin Rouge with its many characters including the host of the Moulin Rouge, Harold Zidler (Danny Burstein); the brilliant and starving artist Toulouse-Lautrec (Sahr Ngaujah); the greatest tango dancer – and gigolo – in all of Paris, Santiago (Ricky Rojas); the tempting Nini (Robyn Hurder); and The Duke of Monroth (Tam Mutu), the wealthy and entitled patron of the club who thinks he can buy anything he wants, including love.
