This photo which dates back to the 1950s and came from the Tumblr site of Past Male Beauty seemed like an appropriate photo to share on Valentine’s Day.

This week is my 150th vintage gay post. What started as an idea in 2012 after reading 100 Years of Gay Couples from the now defunct WingerJock blog, inspired me to conceive of and share my first vintage gay post. he photo dated back to 1936 and showed two men on the beach in Provincetown. It proved to be so popular I made it a reoccurring post and 149 posts later it’s still going strong.

This week’s photo comes from the Facebook collection of vintage photos from David Torguella (a.k.a. Lady Torguella), that long-time reader Bob Lowe turned me on to. Thanks Bob!

The photo above shows Cecil Beaton, Oliver Watson and Peter Watson in the 1930s. Apparently these three raised more than a few eyebrows as they flaunted their disregard for social mores. It seems like this was tolerated to a point possibly due to their family’s wealth and influence. There is an interesting read about these men you can check out here.
