“This is what happens when there isn’t a dress code.”
The LGBTQ+ community once again has a friend and ally in the White House, but equally important is the increasing number of friends and allies we have in the business community. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) recently released their Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for 2021 and the news is good. A recordbreaking 767 businesses met all the criteria to earn a 100% rating and the designation of being a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.” Locally, more Massachusetts businesses earned that distinction as well.
The index, started in 2002, serves as a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees and serves as a driving force for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion. There are three key pillars to the index rating that focus on: (1) non-discrimination policies across business entities, (2) equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families and (3) supporting an inclusive culture and corporate social responsibility.
Forty-eight (48) companies in Massachusetts earned a 100% score from the HRC CEI 2021. This represents a 20% increase from the 2020 index when only 40 companies in Massachusetts earned a perfect score.

This week’s photo is tempting on so many levels. How I’d love to be able to join this guy in the water and enjoy a nice day at the beach right about now.
In December I shared a Tik Tok video of Scottish actor, Matt Kennedy, after Joe from the The Closet Professor blog brought him to my attention. His boy-next-door looks made me want to feature him again.
May this post help distract you from the fact that it is a Monday morning.
I first shared this recipe back in 2017 but thought it was worth sharing again. This is a recipe for a side dish, and it will elevate any dinner but works particularly well with chicken and steak dinners.
The recipe comes from Ina Garten and while I never seem to be able to follow recipes, this one is really easy. The total prep time is ~5 minutes and the cooking time is ~25 to 35 minutes. The recipe below is for two people so double this (or more) if you are cooking for a dinner party. I can guarantee you every last shallot will be devoured. When it is cooked, the smell is mouth watering and you can easily cut them with a fork.
Ingredients include:
The Cooking: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Farenheit then take a medium size pan to melt butter over medium heat on your stove. Once the butter has melted add the shallots and sugar. Roll the shallots in the butter and sugar and stir them for 5-10 minutes until they start to brown then add the vinegar, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. The final step is to place the pan (uncovered) in the oven until the shallots are tender and caramelized (~20-30 minutes). Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Cooking Tips:
You can save yourself time if you buy shallots that have already been peeled.
This plate is best when it is served warm from the oven.
Cleaning Tip: The most difficult thing about this dish is the clean up. I suggest that after you cook the shallots and plate them, add some water to the pan with a little dish soap and leave it on low heat on your stove. Just remember to use your oven mitts when you grab the pan to clean it! Everything will come right off.
Enjoy your morning cup of Joe (or whatever you might like to call him).

When Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell stumbled across a photo from the 1920s of two men in a tender embrace they thought it was one-of-a-kind. But things changed when they found more photographs. The result of their unexpected discovery is a moving book, portraying male romance over the course of a century.
I’ve shared several of the photos from this collection in the past and will likely continue to share more in the future but the BBC 5 minute video published in November 2020 is worth watching. Above is a screen capture of Hugh speaking about what the collection of these photos represent and their significance. Click on the photo to launch the interesting video.
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.

If you are looking to heat things up on your Instagram feed then look no further than Spanish model, John Neda, who seems to have an endless stream of photos of him modeling underwear, bathing suits and sometimes just a pretty smile.
I don’t know much about this guy other than he has classic good looks, a lean and defined physique and a seemingly endless stream of ‘stimulating’ photos. You can check out his full feed with the link I’ve provided below.
