Tonight is opening night for The Boston Ballet’s final program of the season. Mirrors is a diverse selection of thought-provoking works that reflect the many facets of contemporary ballet. Adding to the evening’s program, the Company performs two world premieres: Smoke and Mirrors, the first major work commissioned by the Company for the Opera House stage by former Boston Ballet Principal Dancer Yury Yanowsky, followed by Karole Armitage’s Bitches Brew, a psychedelic display of athleticism set to Miles Davis’ famous jazz track.
Mirrors will run May 6–28, 2016, at the Boston Opera House.
A reader named John pointed out that I hadn’t featured a blond in quite a while so this week’s Furry Friday is for John. Hope he makes up for lost time.

I’m not sure how today became an excuse for excessive drinking, but if I could remake the holiday, I’d brand it as Cinqo de Gayo and use it as an excuse to have Eliad Cohen parade around shirtless in a sombrero.
I realize Eliad has no connection to Mexico, but I feel like that isn’t really an issue. Who do I petition to get this a nationally recognized holiday in the US?

I want to 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.
Late yesterday the US Department of Justice (DOJ) warned North Carolina that significant aspects of the anti-LGBT legislation, officially known as House Bill 2 (HB2) violate federal civil rights law. Non-compliance with federal law could lead to North Carolina losing hundreds of millions of dollars of federal funding.
This follows the 4th Circuit’s decision that denying restroom access to trans students is sex discrimination under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act.

The SpeakEasy Stage concludes their 25th season with their production, Dogfight, a powerful musical about an unlikely love story set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War.

Dogfight: It’s November 21, 1963; and on the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines set out for one final boys’ night of debauchery, partying, and maybe a little trouble. But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion.
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is Swede.
Swede (swēd/ noun)
Definition: A native or inhabitant of Sweden, or a person of Swedish descent.
Example: Sweet lord, I need to meet more Swedes.

It has been three months since The Bear-Naked Chef (a.k.a. Adrian De Berardinis) last cooked for us. A few weeks ago Adrian shared a teaser video of him in Madrid, Spain, promising to return soon with new recipes and yesterday he did just that. Adrian’s first recipe, “Albóndigas En Salsa Española” perhaps better known to my readers as, Meatballs in Spanish Sauce, looks delicious.
While the recipe does call for a number of ingredients, it does appear to come together fairly easily and looks like something I could easily whip up (although I’ll probably forgo the Spanish saffron) and add extra parsley.
Look delicious? Want to try the recipe? You can access this and previous recipes from Adrian’s website.
