gay couple, gay romanceIt was the first thing that came to mind when I stumbled upon this romantic photo. If you don’t get the reference, then I suppose it might not make as much sense but it remains a beautiful photograph.

Here’s to hoping that you end your day with an unexpected embrace and kiss.

Post-Gay?  Friday, March 18 – Saturday, April 16, 2016

The Boston LGBTQIA Artist Alliance (BLAA) presents Post-Gay?, a group exhibit of twenty artists. An opening reception will take place on Friday, March 18 from 7-9PM at the Distillery Gallery in Southie at 516 E 2nd Street in Boston.

Post-Gay? considers the consequences of assimilation and progress. Where does growing mainstream acceptance leave more marginalized queer identities, and how do the myriad of LGBTQIA identities conceptualize themselves in the face of shifting cultural opinion? Who gets represented?

Featuring: Robert Chamberlin, Daniel Corral, Dave J Bermingham, DEAD ART STAR, Giancarlo Corbacho+Ariele Max, Jamieson Edson, Jeremy Endo, Gordon Feng, David Hannon, I.B.E., Jamezie, Liss LaFleur, Christopher Lineberry, Kirk Lorenzo, Dino Rowan, Hogan Seidel, Randi Shandroski, Warith Taha, Sarah Washburn, Zoe Perry-Wood

Gay-themed Boston / Ptown murder mysteries reissued

Posted on March 16, 2016 | 4 comments

Michael McEachem McDowell, Dennis Schuetz, gay literatureNathan Aldyne is the pseudonym for Michael McEachern McDowell, an American novelist and screenwriter who is perhaps best known for writing the screenplay Beetlejuice.  Under the pseudonym, Nathan Aldyne, four gay-themed murder mysteries with Dennis Schuetz  were penned and initially published in the 1980s Vermillion (1980), Cobalt(1982), Slate (1984), and Canary (1986).

Set in the pre-AIDS era the books capture what gay life in Boston and Provincetown was like. All four books have been been reprinted in handsome editions by Felony & Mayhem. They are available on the publisher’s website for purchase as well as Amazon.com and Apple’s iBooks. I’ve just downloaded the series and am reading them now. I am loving them. Pick up a copy.
