Finishing Touches

By Joe

This will be a short post today.

I have a couple of posts in the works to continue last week’s discussion about the print media that gave gay men a chance to admire handsome, fit men in the days before the internet—without having to turn to porn magazines or videos. I’m still putting the finishing touches on them and adding the images I want to include, so they’re not quite ready yet.

I’m also leaving work a little early today because I’ll be putting in a couple of hours at the museum on Saturday. If I can avoid a migraine, I plan to use the extra time this afternoon to finish those posts so they’ll be ready for Thursday and Friday.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
