Thought I'd share some unique photos I came across while browsing around Google image search. I didn't even know photos like this existed, some of these guys are cute couples.

It's refreshing to see gay couples in vintage photography like this. More here.
 
Vintage photos can so easily be faked. Like that technicolor one with the flower...
 
The passion of love goes back to good days.

It was a hand tinted photo. I have tons of them from my own family.

I have an entire book of these in my library somewhere. I'll pull it sometime today and provide the title and info, although it is out of print and I got mine through a book dealer.

It still had the letter from the original giver to his boyfriend inside.
 
even if these might have been faked with something like photoshop they are still really cute :)
 
We don't really know if a lot of those vintage-type photos are of gays or not. Guys just acted more free with physical affection back then. A lot of Civil War pictures show guys sitting on each other’s laps and holding hands. But they weren’t gay.

Years ago men weren't afraid to display affection towards each other as they are now.

Male affection photos from years ago are quite common and I have thousands of them. Too bad that current male standards dictate that if you display physical affection towards another man you're branded "a fag". Right now all a man is allowed to do with another man is shake his hand and maybe a pat on the back (upper back).

In some eastern and middle eastern cultures it's common for men to walk down the street with other arm in arm without being accused of anything. Too bad that being gay is frowned upon by those that know nothing about it.
 
I don't see any reason to think these are fake.

James Gardiner's book "Who's A Pretty Boy Then - 150 years of gay life in pictures" has loads of similar examples. You can get it on Amazon.

It also has a picture of my first ever boyfriend, but that's beside the point. ;)
 
Thank you Erobert for showing me these encouraging pictures. Ravenstar is absolutely right - just the idea of happy couples recording their love is beautiful; and they are indeed beautiful couples! I think it's because these are the images that society has tried to prevent us seeing that increases the potency of their message: It is possible to enjoy a loving relationship with another man and that it is good for us to do so...|(*8*) Thank you!
 
Today, it's easy to take for granted the freedom we have to love one another, man and man. Imagine how difficult it must have been during those times and for those men. Even most committed, enduring relationships of love had to be hidden.
 
Okay guys.

Here's the book you want to get. It is full of wonderful photos of men together.

And what is the fucking problem with so many people thinking that one of the photos was faked?

Do you know anything about the history of photography?

Thank you for providing the link, that's a great book. There's just something about timeless love... The third photo is my favorite, their chemistry really comes through in that photo even 85 years later. There's also a part 2 on that site with more modern pictures which are worth a look too.

To all the naysayer's: these photos, at least most of them, IMO are the real deal. A beautiful part of our heritage. :=D:
