Vintage gay

peter miller, drag queenThe photo was shared with me by a Peter Miller who often shares really cool photos like this one for my weekly vintage gay post. According to Peter’s research this is a trimmed down cabinet card dating back to the 1880s / 1890s depicting a drag queen (likely named Mark Smith). The photo appears to have been taken at Baker’s Art Gallery, located att 106 S. High Street, Columbus, OH at that time.

Much thanks Peter for this amazing find. If you have photos you think would make for a great vintage gay post, please do share them by emailing me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

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.

Fran Alvarado, handsome, cuteYou may already be following Fran Alvarado who has 200K+ followers and who’s Instagram account I featured in early February. I wanted to share it again because little did he or any of us know how much we would come to rely on the help of Fran and healthcare professionals the world over. This distractingly cute Family doctor from Madrid would contract COVID-19 just weeks after I featured his account. In the weeks that followed, Spain and Madrid in particular would become a flashpoint (second only to Northern Italy). Fortunately he made a complete recovery.

It’s nice to know that there is more to this guy than just his good looks. I’ve always had the utmost respect for those ino healthcare but more now than ever. If you check out Fran’s account you’ll see a number of photos of him in his scrubs as well as many videos (unfortunately I haven’t a clue what he is saying but I can assure you that doesn’t deter me from watching them). Adding this account to your feed will amp up the cute factor significantly.

The photo above is one of several from this amazing BBC article, that captures a time in history – alas the story doesn’t end happily as all the guests were arrested but it does make for a quick and interesting read. The photos in the article date back to 1917 in Petrograd – better known today as St. Petersburg.

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?
