These photos are just a small fragment of our gay history; unfortunately so much of it has purposely been destroyed. Since most of the men and women in these photos are unknown, it's pretty much impossible to tell it they were a gay couple or just "good friends." Most photographs of gay couples were eventually destroyed by horrified family members. For every photo that I may have mistakenly identified as gay, thousands more were burned or torn into pieces to keep a family secret.
Thanks,

You could have a Pinterest profile and organize the pictures according to the context. I think you would have a lot of subscribers.
ReplyDeleteI own the photograph of the two gentlemen with the top hats. The tintype actual has a paper frame that has a had written note "San Francisco, June 10 '85).
