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.
Support Boston’s theater scene: Check out one or more of these productions
Boston’s local theater scene is back after taking the summer off and the fall line up has a little bit of something for everyone. Below are just a handful of local theater companies and productions opening this month. Peruse the list and feel free to add others I’ve omitted in the comments section.

Not able to go to the Tennessee Williams Theater in Festival in Provincetown later this month? No worries check out these eight one act plays by the gay playwright.

This musical offers an insightful, and often hilarious look at modern relationships. It looks like a great show to go see with friends or a date.

In the not too distant future artificial intelligence helps 85-year-old Marjorie, a woman whose memory is fading, by keeping her company by a handsome, younger version of her husband Walter, programmed to talk with her about her past. What would we choose to remember – or forget – if given the chance?
Significant Other at the SpeakEasy Stage Company Sept 9 – Oct 8

Plan a night out to attend one of these productions from a local theater company with friends or someone special. Not only can I assure you that you will have a great time, but you will also be supporting Boston’s theater scene.
Word of the day: Ptown Blues
Ptown Blues (\ˈpētau̇n-blüz\ adjective)
Definition: That feeling that sets in shortly after Labor Day Weekend concludes and you realize the summer is officially over.
Example: To fend off the Ptown Blues BosGuy suggests you make your reservations for 2017 today.
Caption this photo
With summer now officially over I thought I’d share this pic from a couple of years ago when friends were goofing off at the Randolph Country Club. Share a witty caption – I’ll help get you started.
