Vintage gay
In some ways, this photo runs counter to what this weekly post is all about – featuring men who were together at times in the past when being gay was actually illegal and relatively unsafe. However, with all the rumors that have swirled around these two Hollywood heart throbs, I couldn’t resist.
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.
This week on Instagram: floretflower
It is spring time and while it never gets warm enough fast enough for me, I do love the spring flowers that are telltale signs that warmer days are in my near future. I love following this IG account which has photo after photo of breathtaking arrangements and flowers like this picture taken from last fall.
