Provincetown Bear Week, July 8-16, 2017
Over the past few years Bear Week has grown so large that to list all the shows, performances, events and parties would be impractical on my blog. There are more than 80 different performances and more than 100 official events / parties that will take place in Provincetown during Bear Week which officially starts on Saturday, July 8th. Not even the most excited cub can keep up with so much happening so pace yourself and remember to hold tight to your honey.

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.

Seth Fornea’s new calendar will raise more than just your eyebrows
G0-Go Dancer / Model / Ginger-stud, Seth Fornea, announced earlier this week that he would have a limited release (500 copies only) 2018 calendar. Due to the small number being produced, pre-ordering a copy would be very wise. Note that the calendar entitled, Full Frontal, is most definitely NSFW so think twice before you click on this link to Instinct Magazine’s article about the calendar, Ginger Hunk Seth Fornea Teases ‘Full Frontal’ 2018 calendar.
You can place your pre-order at www.sethforneashop.com
