Fenway Health Men’s Event is Saturday, March 10, 2018
Saturday, March 10th Fenway Health will celebrate 25 years of The Men’s Event and 1,300 gay and bisexual men, transgender people and our allies will attend this important fundraiser at the Boston Marriott Copley. This year’s Congressman Studds Award Winner is the popular, former Massachusetts Governor, Deval Patrick.
A chilling shift in political currents has taken place in the United States since Patrick was our governor and the LGBTQ community has gone from having a friend in the White House to a President who’s policies and actions specifically target the LGBTQ community. It is important for our community to come together and support each other which is one reason Sergio and I will be attending this year’s program. Tickets remain available for the 2018 Men’s Event on Saturday, March 10. To learn more about the event or to purchase tickets visit, mensevent.org.
Much thanks to UB2 Inc for posting such a lovely video of last year’s celebration. I’ve included their YT clip below for everyone to enjoy.
This week I’m featuring Chris Mazdzer who set U.S. Olympic history this past Sunday by capturing the Silver Medal in the luge men’s singles competition. I know that he has been a popular person since Cosmo released their video of several handsome male Olympians providing cringe-worthy pick up lines, but if you happened to miss it you can watch it here.

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.

Dorothy Parker’s six-line poem from the 1920s is a cynical assessment of romance. However in the age of Tinder and exchanging dozens of emails or texts before coming together or organically meeting, Ms. Parker’s cynicism seems remarkably current for a poem that is nearly 100 years old.
By the time you swear you’re his,
Shivering, and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Indefinite, undying –
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.
– Dorothy Parker, from Unfortunate Coincidence
I know that Valentine’s Day isn’t necessarily everyone’s favorite holiday for those who may be cursing rather than celebrating the Hallmark holiday, I wanted to share this Instagram account. Feel free to peruse the posts or possibly submit one of your own to add to the collection.

Founded more than 35 years ago in 1982,The Boston Gay Men’s Chorus (BGMC), is a successful community-based chorus. The 200-member chorus literally uses their voices to celebrate and inspire through their performances which include a wide spectrum of classical and popular music.
Later this month the BGMC will be performing “A Wicked Good Cabaret” at Club Cafe on Friday, February 23 at 8PM; Saturday, February 24 at 5 and 8PM as well as Sunday, February 25 at 3PM. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!
If you cannot make it to Club Cafe but would like to learn more about the organization and show your support, you can purchase tickets to ENCORE 18, which is BGMC’s annual fundraiser. This year the event will be at the Omni Parker House on Saturday, May 5th. More information is here.
I want to feature the LGBTQ groups and organizations that help people connect and enrich Boston’s gay life. If you’d like to have your club / team featured, please email me at bosguymail@gmail.com or via FB messenger.
Curious if Hallmark has one of these cards.
Late last year I featured Thiago Zanini in a Temptation Tuesday post and the response was overwhelmingly positive (to put it mildly) so I thought I’d feature him again. This Brazilian from Sao Paulo is if nothing else very tempting.
NewRep Theatre: Photo by Andrew Brilliant / Brilliant Pictures
The NewRep Theater located in Watertown currently has a show getting a lot of attention called, Lonely Planet, which tells the story of two friends during the height of the AIDS epidemic in America. The play has been revived as part of the NewRep’s 2017-2018 season, which is focused on the theme of resilience.
While AIDS is no longer a death sentence the stigma remains and the virus continues to impact gay men and communities of color disproportionately. Lonely Planet asks the audience to look beyond the virus, that has killed more than 35 million people, and focus on community and compassion. The two-hour play centered on the friendship between Carl and Jody provides an interesting and sometimes humorous contrast between the two as they struggle to make sense of a virus that is ravaging their community.
The play opened on February 3rd and runs through March 4th. Tickets remain for most shows.
I couldn’t find a photo of a winter Olympian wearing a kilt, so I’ve deferred to Summer Olympian Tom Daley in honor of all the athletes in South Korea.
