Vintage gay

Shown above are Jean Cocteau & Jean Marais taken in Cote d’Azur in 1939. Cocteau and Marais are sometimes referred to as the first modern gay couple. You can learn more about this interesting pair 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 for a future post? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Madonna Madness Tea Dance at Boatslip
Are you in Provincetown this week? The Boatslip is paying tribute to Madonna today so head over and check it out. Tea Dance is from 4PM – 7PM.
Word of the day: Smooth
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is Smooth
Smooth (/smo͞oT͟H/adjective)
Definition: Indicates a gay man who is hairless or shaves his body hair..
Example: You never see smooth guys in Ptown during bear week.
Caption this photo
LOL – I didn’t tell Sergio I was going to post this photo. Let’s see how long it takes him to realize it. Please share a funny caption. I’ll get you started.
Not amused!
Freddie Mercury tribute at Oberon, Wednesday, August 10
Boston joins cities all over the world to celebrate the life, memory and music of Freddie Mercury with “Freddie For A Day”. In addition to celebrating Mercury’s music contributions the evening brings people together to help raise awareness and funds for the Mercury Phoenix Trust – fighting AIDS worldwide.
Boston’s “Freddie For A Day” celebration takes place at the Oberon Theater on Wednesday night. Three local bands will pay tribute to and perform Queen songs while a silk aerialist dressed as Freddie Mercury performs overhead.
A raffle and costume contest will also be held so come down to The Oberon in Cambridge and enjoy an evening of great music. Tickets on sale now through OBERON for $20 and limited half priced tickets on sale through Bostix.
Thank You For Being A Friend
A new Golden Girls parody show, Thank You For Being A Friend, made its debut in Toronto this weekend. Thomas Duncan-Watt and Jonathan Rockefeller co-wrote the show, which transforms Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia and Rose from the popular 1980s TV show into puppet form. I’m hoping that after Toronto, Thomas and Duncan will turns their eyes East to Provincetown or Boston.
Ben Cohen hanging in Ptown (and coming to Boston)
Marc Croteau posted this happy photo of he and Chris Salgardo posing with straight ally and former professional rugby player, Ben Cohen in Provincetown on Sunday. It turns out Cohen was in Ptown this past weekend for the #LifeRide7 and they met him at The Boatslip.
If you missed Ben Cohen in Provincetown, you can still meet the handsome hunk at Kiehls Boston on Newbury Street this Wednesday from 11-12. He will be there to help raise awareness and money for amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research).
Lisbon’s gay beaches
In just a few weeks Sergio and I will pack up for a very quick trip to Portugal (our first time there). Provided that the weather is nice, I’d like to spend a day at a gay-friendly beach to soak up some Portuguese sun. There seem to be two options recommended for gay travelers.
Have you been before? Which beach should we visit?
Costa da Caparica is described as a popular beach near Lisbon. From what I have read on the web if we go here we should head to the southern portion of the beach which is described as “trendier and less crowded” — which I take as gay code for better looking people and no children. It sounds like this is also more active in the afternoon and one website suggested we enjoy cocktails and the nightlife the village has to offer.
Beach 19 is the other option, located at the south end of Praia de Bela Vista. This is a clothing optional beach which isn’t exactly a draw for me but it isn’t something that would deter me from going either. However, the reviews for this beach which I believe is a bit further away from Libson appear mixed.
I’m curious if any of my readers have been to either beach and if you have a suggestion on which we should try? I wish we were in Portugal longer so we could actually visit both but on this trip that won’t be possibly.

He would not stay for me, and who can wonder
I love poetry and The Closet Professor is a southern blogger who now resides in Vermont who regularly shares poems like the one below.
I had never heard of A.E. Housman but according to his Wikipedia page, he was a celebrated poet (and much to my surprise) apparently fell in love with a long time friend / roommate but unfortunately the feelings were never reciprocated as Moses Jackson was heterosexual. Makes you wonder if Housman had Jackson in mind when he wrote this brief but beautiful poem.
He would not stay for me, and who can wonder
A. E. Housman, 1859 – 1936
He would not stay for me, and who can wonder?
He would not stay for me to stand and gaze.
I shook his hand, and tore my heart in sunder,
And went with half my life about my ways.

Scruffy Sunday
Rise and shine. Time to get out of bed sleepy-head.
