R4 That's how men dressed in 1963. Hats, ties, tie clips, and a pocket for your opium pipe and switchblade. And everyone fucking smoked!

Back in ancient times you had to take pictures with actual film which you would then drop off to be developed. These photos were developed in December.

Is it wrong that I prefer this to be the mainstream gay life?

r13, you know gays were considered mentally ill then, right? And a lot entered into sham beard marriages, had to worry about "morals charges" etc

I just scrolled through the series of Thanksgiving photos. The framed "artwork" on the walls is an abomination and should have burned 60 years ago - the subject matter, framing, and hanging presentation should immediately disqualify any of these guys. TURN IN YOUR GAY CARDS!!!

These pictures were taken only days after JFK was killed. Where are their armbands?

Too Soon. Please enjoy the Christmas decor at your local dollar store and come back to discuss this photo in 3 weeks.

The guy with the cigarette, later in the evening, is going to fuck the brains out of the guy in lower right corner.

I've spent every single one of the last ten Thanksgivings alone, by myself.
And I don't see that changing anytime in the next ten years to be honest.

I can only imagine where the two drum sticks ended up after a bunch of faggots started getting rowdy after cosplaying a “normal” holiday dinner.
I should warn Ben about this the next time we are engaged in strictly heterosexual activities.

There was a discussion in the earlier thread about the impact of AIDS on that generation. Most of the cast members of The Boys in the Band died of it and they were about the same age as the guys in this photo. I can't help but think some of them must died in the first wave.😢

How did they function without a bachelorette party blowing through or a fat girl with pink hair not in attendance?
Oh, that's right. Gay men back when it was OK to be just with other gay men.
