Vintage gay

Posted on November 25, 2021 | 6 comments

Much thanks to my friend and longtime BosGuy.com reader, Jim L., for sharing this photo with me earlier this year. It makes for an excellent vintage gay post. Based on these outfits, can anyone hazzard a guess on when this photo may have been taken?

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.

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The guy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes
Each one he passes goes “ah!”

Founded in 1815, Handel and Haydn Society perform its 207th consecutive season, the most of any performing arts organization in the United States.

Looking to get into the holiday spirit? Handel and Haydn Society returns to Symphony Hall to perform Handel’s Messiah. The concert is a tradition that dates back to 1815, which featured the then quite famous “Hallelujah” chorus. This year’s performance will be a special treat for audiences as Harry Christophers returns for his 13th and final season as Artistic Director of H+H.

This year’s concert will also feature the H+H Orchestra and Chorus as well as Carolyn Sampson – soprano, Reginald Mobley – countertenor, James Way – tenor, and Roderick Williams – baritone.

Concerts at Symphony Hall will take place Friday, November 26 – Sunday, November 28th. For more information about the Handel and Haydn Society, Handel’s Messiah, and tickets to their upcoming peformances visit, Handel and Haydn Society website.

A John Waters Christmas comes to Boston

Posted on November 17, 2021 | Leave a comment

Like an obsessed and shell-shocked St.Nick from quarantine, John Waters is back with his annual Christmas show. Bad little boys and girls and everybody in between and beyond, will be thrilled to take a sleigh-ride-of-sleaze down the slopes of good taste and over the ski jump of religious beliefs to a snow drift of candy cane anarchy.

Tickets are now on sale for “A John Waters Christmas”. He will be in Boston for one show only on Friday, December 10th at the Berklee Performance Center in Back Bay.
