I’m very intrigued by this week’s vintage gay photo of guys at a gay bar (I’m guessing in the 1980s based on haircuts and clothing). I have no idea why the guy in the white t-shirt has miniature handcuffs clamped to his button fly and belt loop. I’m also more than a little curious to know who is the guy hidden behind him. Either way, these guys look like they are enjoying themselves.

It’s the demise of gay bars, which may still be around but aren’t quite gay like this anymore that I sometimes miss when I am out. Anyone else feel a similar sesnse of melancholy?

I believe the Texas license plate says “51” which would make me think the photo of this cute couple was taken in the early 1950s. They certainly look cute together, don’t you think?

The hairstyles and jeans lead me to think this is in the early 1980s. Possibly a street fair in The Castro? Anyone able to date or plae these two handsome guys?

The lack of clothing may make this tough to date. I can’t help but feel like this is Palm Springs in the 1980s but that is a total guess on my part. Anyone else care to share insights into when / where this may have been taken?

I have no idea what to make of this picture of a sailor feeding a young man in a loin cloth something called “Homo Milk”. I feel like this photogaph may have been better suited for a Caption This Photo post but here we are.

Does anyone have any information about when or where this may have been taken? I’m truly fascinated and curious.

It is so rare to find good photos of men of color from the past that I like to share them whenever I find one. I have no idea where these men may have been when this was taken or how long ago this was taken, but I’m hoping readers will be able to help.

It is the middle of winter here in Boston so these beach photos from what looks like the 1950s, makes me really miss the summer and spending lazy days at the beach with Sergio.

I love this photograph which (like last week’s post) I believe dates back to the late 19th century. Can anyone glean any details from the clothes they are wearing or the furniture in the lower left of the photograph?

I love this photograph which suggests it dates back to the late 19th / early 20th century. Their synchonized pose with left legs crossed, hands in each others and pipes, cigarettes (or whatever that is) justting off to their left is picture perfect.

I haven’t a clue when these two guys may have cuddled up next to each other to pose for this photograph. I’m wondering if anyone can date this based on their attire?

This week’s photo was taken somewhere between 1958 and 1961 when Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky were romantically linked.

What a lovely intimate photograph of two men relaxing quietly together in the sun. This is something I’d love to be doing with Sergio but the winters in New England are long and unless we hop on a plane, it will be several months before we can do this here in Boston.

I’m fairly certain I’ve posted this photograph in the past around this time of year. I have no idea who these two men are or what may have become of them, but I love the photo of the two of them together with their pet cat by the Christmas tree.
