Standing in stark contrast to North Carolina (boo, hiss) Massachusetts State Senate on Thursday approved a bill that would ban discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations. You may recall this was the source of much discontent at last month’s Boston Spirit Magazine, LGBT Executive Networking Night when keynote speaker, Gov. Charlie Baker, was booed off the stage because he wouldn’t come out in support of the bill.
The legislation expands a 2011 state law that previously banned discrimination against transgender people in the workplace and housing. The legislation now heads to the MA House where it is expected to pass and will put MA in good company, joining 17 other states and D.C. that have already banned discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations.
Hat tip to David over at WGB where I first read about this.
Here is a little known fact about me. I find guys who wear glasses very sexy. I think it makes a guys face look so much more interesting; not to mention I’m a fan of any excuse to accessorize.
What do you think? Do you make passes at guys who wear glasses?
I make no secret of the fact that I would like to see more LGBT bloggers in Boston. There are only a few of us (at least that I’m aware of) so I’d like to give a shout out to a newish blog that started earlier this year by an anonymous young man who identifies himself as “The Boston Gayllennial“.
His posts range on a variety of subject matter, providing a somewhat autobiographical account of his life and can be described as personal reflections about growing up as a gay millennial living in Boston. I enjoy reading his blog and added it to my blogroll some time ago. Check out the blog and say hello to the young man by leaving him a comment in one of his posts. I can assure you nothing motivates a blogger more than getting comments to a post you wrote.
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.
Can’t believe I have a little brother who is turning 40 years old today. Happy birthday; don’t worry you don’t look a day over 40.
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is blinkah.
bliNGkah (rənah/ noun)
Definition: a device that blinks, especially a vehicle’s turn signal.
Example: That S.O.B. didn’t use his blinkah on Storrow Drive and cut me off
Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph and ask readers to offer a funny caption. Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a few of your own.

The Boston Ironsides Rugby Club will host a lip sync fundraiser tomorrow, Wednesday, May 11th at Club Cafe from 7-9pm. Many of the Ironsides Ruggers will be primping and preparing to dazzle you in drag as they lip sync some of your favorite songs.
Boston’s annoying liquor laws seem to irritate just about everyone I know. One law that looks to be changing is the city’s decades-old prohibition of the ‘bring your own booze’ (BYOB) to restaurants. Known for draconian laws with all things related to alcohol, maybe the Boston Licensing Board overturned a ban on BYOB; a trend that started in the 1920s as a way for restaurants to bypass Prohibition-era laws.
Boston Thrillist wrote a nice article on “What You Need To Know” which I’ve distilled for you below if you want to know more.
1 – Nothing has actually changed yet. The changes if implemented will go into effect at the end of this year (not sure the exact date yet).
2 – BYOB won’t be available everywhere. Places with a liquor license will not qualify; mostly this will apply to smaller restaurants with 30 or fewer seats, dine-in service and the appropriate insurance.
3 – Restaurants can charge you a corkage fee.
You can read the full article in Thrillist which was written in January before the Boston Licensing Board overturned the ban online, here.
Four years ago on May 10, 2012 this photograph of Shemar Moore inspired me to create a weekly post called Temptation Tuesday. The photo still serves as an excellent source of inspiration and temptation. Thank you to all of you who regularly visit, share and comment on these posts.
