Agreed, whatever form it took, it’s obvious there is great love and affection, and that should be celebrated and encouraged.

I find this picture of Buzz and Tommy so sweet and tender. I’ve been looking around to see if I can find any background about the image. It’s looking like their stories are lost to history…

I worry how we all rush to look at an image from history and claim it as being part of queer history. The ways in which heterosexual men have expressed intimacy has changed with history. While men holding hands, kissing, or expressing love is considered “gay” today, it wasn’t always so. These two young men from the late 40s might have been secret gay lovers–or they might have been close heterosexual friends. We’ll never know.

I think the world has so much more beauty when we hold that ambiguity and let that which is unknown (in this case their sexuality) remain unknown.

Yup, he canned the dates before, and some after, but we got to see him. I’m just about to post some of my concert pics.

Did you see him perform? I read that he has cancelled his tour, or is it just part of it?

Hi Dennis, i wish i could remember where i found it, i think it was probably retro Tumblr site, but i can’t be sure. It’s such a fantastic photo. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend, i’m sorry for the loss of all our friends to that hidious disease.

Hello, this is a picture of my best friend in college. His name was Stuart Rief and the picture was in the After Dark Magazine. I have the issue somewhere and a few of his headshots. He passed from AIDS and I think of him everyday. He was the most beautiful man I have ever met and he had the biggest heart. I stumbled on this while googling b&w pictures of gay men from the 70′s. Where did you get the picture? Thanks for posting it. Dennis
