One week from tonight is the annual holiday party, Toys for Joys. If you’ve not yet registered, be sure to visit their website before the event sells out.

Time: Friday, December 11, 2015 from 7:30PM to 12:00AM
Location: 200 Stuart St. Boston – Space 57 at the Revere Hotel
Registration: Includes passed hors d’oeuvres, signature cocktails sponsored by Tito’s Handmade Vodka and DJ Steve Marsden spinning under a dazzling array of lights.

I miss all the holiday mail that use to fill my mailbox this time of year. For many years Sergio and I would send out anywhere from 125 – 200 Christmas the first week of December. And we weren’t the only ones, because by the end of the month our house would be filled with so many cards that there wasn’t a flat surface in our den that didn’t have a dozen or more stacked together on display.
In an age where Facebook messages and status updates rule, there is no time left for buying, writing and mailing cards to those we love; what a shame.

Last month I wrote about the Instagram account of the handsome @joeputignano. This month when I was trolling Instagram I stumbled upon an account that features gay interracial couples and was pleasantly surprised to see two friends of mine Keegan and Fabio (@kee_fab) who both moved to Boston a couple of years ago.
Photos are submitted from all over and range from everyday activities to significant moments, but my favorite are the vacation photos like the one my friends posted. If this sort of thing sounds appealing and you are on Instagram, check out @intergaycial and while you are on Instagram check out my own account, @bosguyblog.

Last month Actor / activist Wilson Cruz and Matthew Dempsey talked about the role race plays regarding attraction. Some say it’s a “preference” while others contend this is a racist smoke screen.
The quick discussion in their video below is something I broached back in 2014 in my blog post, Sexual racism: When does your preference become racist after reading an article written by Scott Roberts on the UK blog, GMFA. Watch the video and if you like read my past blog post then share with me your thoughts on this subject.
Thanks to Accidental Bear for making me aware of this Youtube post.
Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph for readers to caption. I’ll get you started with a possible caption that hopefully inspires you to share a few of your own in the comments section below.

Even though half of the people living with HIV are over the age of 50 infections continue to happen and there remains no cure for AIDS.
According to statistics from AIDS.gov, there are approximately 50,000 new HIV infections each year in the US. In 2010 50% of youth under the age of 24 with HIV didn’t know that they were positive. Aside from concerns that these people are not receiving the necessary medical care and attention they need it is likely they are unintentionally infecting others who do not engage in safe sex — so make it a point to know your status.
Local resources – including testing and counseling are available in the following locations listed below. Feel free to share other sites you know about in the comments section. Maybe in honor of World AIDS Day you’d like to make a donation to help these organizations continue their important work.
