Men in kilts
I recently learned that there is a window cleaning and house washing service called Men In Kilts (www.meninkilts.com) in the Boston area. The company is based in Canada. Visit their website to see if they are in your city. I’m dying… I’d love to have these guys clean the windows of our condo complex.

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.
