If you look closely, you can detect that the guys may really be brothers, father & son, or cousins. Males weren't as weird about displays of affection between blood relatives as is the case now.
I've seen most of these photos before on flickr, but it doesn't seem to matter how many times I've seen them before. Every time I look again, I'm filled with such powerful emotion I can scarcely describe it.Affection between men is so powerfully intense, so indescribably deep and beautiful. I feel bad for men who've never known it, and who, looking at these images must feel only a faint shadow of what I can feel of these men's love. It's as if I can almost touch them through the expanse of time.
A really great assemblage of photos of guys being affectionate and spontaneous with one another-- even when they're consciously posing, or deliberately playing the fool! How many such events were lost to posterity before Mr Eastman's 'Kodak' gave the world a cheap, easy way to document them.
a classic classic! this is wonderfully heart warming. so glad these men found each other. great chosen soundtrack. if you have similar photos from the 50s and 60s, the song "so much in love" by the tymes would be good as accompaniment.
Simply BEAUTIFUL.Real men being unashamedly loving together.I was born in the wrong era.Oh,I know times were much tougher for two men together back then,but I sometimes think we've lost that mystique of the by-gone era.A wholly enjoyable montage which I thank you for.
What an "Awesome" montage of extant photos from "Queer" yesteryear! The "Ink Spots & Ella" track is positively sublime! Director Ridley Scott used the "Ink Spots" for a cool "Chanel" ad, during the 1980s, and I actually found it here on YT!
Nice photos, thank you!

Beautiful! We shall overcome the irrational, immoral, inhumane, unChristlike and unethical myth of heterosexual-supremacy!

Superb ! thank you so much ! your work is a piece of art.
And it's useful : so many young gay think that they "create" gay life.
Sorry for my english : I do my best, but I'm a French frog...
