Sip the Rainbow cocktail reception on Friday marks the opening of the Boston Center for Adult Education photo exhibition The Hard-Won Fight: America’s First Legal Same-Sex Marriages by Marilyn Humphries and Susan Symonds and Marriage Equality / 10th Anniversary Portraits by photographer Joel Benjamin.
Sip the Rainbow: Friday, May 16th 6:00 – 8:00 PM $15 in advance / $20 at the door Includes 3 cocktails from Ki Bar Event+Cocktail Design Purchase Tickets HereThe legal battle Goodridge vs. Department of Public Health is etched in my mind. Not only did I follow this local story, but I also stood outside the Massachusetts State House in the months that followed the ruling showing my support in the freezing cold to offset the hundreds of people who came from all over the country to protest and pressure our State Legislature to reverse the State Supreme Court’s ruling.
This is part of our story. Be proud of what started here in 2004. We set the country on fire with this debate and have proven that the criticism that this would destroy the institution of marriage is nothing but homophobic rants; a decade later and Massachusetts continues to have the lowest divorce rate in the country. #InconvenientTruth

This past November I wrote about this exhibit at MOCA in Los Angeles and I’ve had a few of you write to me to let me know that you’ve enjoyed it. I was recently contacted by the organizers and asked if I would remind readers (especially those of you in the Los Angeles area or those of you traveling there) that the exhibit closes this Sunday.
The MOCA exhibition features a selection of Tom of Finland’s drawings and collages, alongside Mizerâs rarely seen photo-collage “catalogue boards” and films, as well as a comprehensive collection of his groundbreaking magazine Physique Pictorial, where drawings by Tom were first published in 1957.

Are you a photography enthusiast? You may want to check out this exhibit in NYC, that runs through February 15, 2014.
DEVOTION is the first major institutional solo presentation of Bob Mizer’s work to be shown anywhere in the world. Bob Mizer, was an American photographer and filmmaker whose work spans five decades starting in the 1950s. He is widely known as a pioneer in erotic male photography, but much of his other work was put aside by Mizer and went unseen until this exhibit in New York City that runs through February 15, 2014.

2014 Orthodox Calendar cover
Each year the makers of this calendar reach out to let me know when their new calendar is available. It has always given me a good laugh – who knew orthodox garb could be so interesting. Maybe this will give some of you ideas for Halloween costumes later this month.
You can purchase a copy of the 2014 Orthodox Wall Calendar here.
Photographer: Jordan Matter
Earlier this summer the Imgur Photo Gallery called “Dancers Among Us” started to go viral. The photos from Jordan Matter are beautifully expressive and in my opinion humanize a style of dance that can at times seem out of reach and other worldly. Want to see more? Click here.
Wingmanning is a Tumblr site started by Drew Phillips (in photo above) and Scott Cleveland (behind the camera) that depicts Drew standing next to or near couples exhibiting public displays of affection (PDA).
The Tumblr site motto is “Make out in public? We’re behind you.”
Love this site – thanks to BuzzFeed for sharing.
