I wonder what trouble this guy plans on getting up to after he has his coffee.

Lots happening this weekend so make plans with your friends and try a new place and mix up your routine. After the holidays there will be plenty of time to go back to your routine.

For all of you who enjoy movies, there are plenty of options this week, starting with Dorchester Brewery’s Monday Holiday Movie series showing Home Alone. Later in the week Guy Social is hosting two “Dinner and a Movie” nights including Mary Poppins on Wednesday and Aquaman on Friday. Finally, Gremlins is on Saturday at The Coolidge as part of their After Midnite series.

If you’re looking for some more social options there are plenty choices below including Boston Gay Men’s Book Club which meets on Monday, Gay Secrets of the MFA on Wednesday and Brass & Bows & Boys (Boston Gay Men’s Chorus) on Saturday & Sunday.

MONDAY – THURSDAY

Coffee in bed with this guy could make me grow to love mornings.

Forty-five years ago tomorrow, (December 15, 1973) the American Psychiatric Association (APA) voted to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. The vote was in favor of declassification but was not universally agreed upon with  5,854 (60%) psychiatrists voting to remove homosexuality from the DSM, and 3,810 (40%) to retain it. Following the vote the APA created a compromise, removing homosexuality from the DSM and putting in place something called a “sexual orientation disturbance” for people who were deemed “in conflict with” their sexual orientation. This bogus compromise was eventually completely discredited by 1987, but its stain lingers. It is this “sexual orientation disturbance” that many in Conversion / Reparative therapy still point to.

We all know the fight to recognize LGBTQ identities as valid and valuable continues. One need only look to the people in the White House to realize how quickly our gains can be taken away and the contempt they hold for the LGBTQ community. It was only last October that Trump was reported joking with staff that VP Mike Pence hates homosexuals so much he wants to “hang all of them.”

So while we should be proud of how far we’ve come in forty-five years, we should not become complacent.

Skip the cream and sugar, I’ll take my coffee with a hint of abdominal definition.

There is a lot happening this weekend in and around Boston including SoWa First Friday and the SoWa Winter Festival.

There are plenty of parties, although the biggest party this weekend will be the 10th Annual Toys for Joys Gift Gala. If you happen to be in the Back Bay on Saturday check out Boston’s holiday tradition, Santa Speedo Run. If you’re still looking for something to help get you in the holiday spirit the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus has two performances of Brass & Bows & Boys on Sunday.

This is a man after my own heart. I too like French Press coffee. We must be soul mates. I’m sure that’s why my good friend @justgngr suggested the photo.
