Jim Ford, your pictures are much better than some of the other channels.

beautiful collection of pics

Foto molto belle! Persone coraggiose! Se pensiamo che l'omosessualità era considerata una malattia! Fino al 1980.

Earlier days were more humanistic than current time where life is categorized and virtual due to the I-phone !

2:52 Brokeback Mountain prequel. If only we could experience what these guys were feeling when these photos were taken. Straight or gay.

I think the pressure of war and death forces a new perspective upon the individual. He may embrace the values he has inculcated or he may question them. War gave us many liberating ideas and WWII was even more so... Hell's Angels and the Stonewall riots were part of that societal reevaluation of what we were taught, what we learned and with whom we placed faith and trust.

I love these photos unfortunately these people have passed

[@SuperSojourn]

I feel it is more important that they lived than that they have passed.

Several photos from the Nini-Treadwell Collection and in our new book "LOVING A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s - 1950s" :)

My friend Terry, when I was 17. God forgive me for breaking up with him. He cried then, and I cried ever since.

[@SuperSojourn]

Sorry, it took so long to acknowledge your loss. I was closeted too long. Now, I focus on the present and value the past for what it was then. I allow a whimsical thought and sometimes a daydream... "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have been!'",

​@@SuperSojournI'll never come out. My sister and brother-in-law wouldn't talk to me. They hate gays, even though their daughter is a lesbian.

[@NormanAllen-ps9ju]

I know this : wouldn't it be wonder to re-do special event in ou lives !

[@markgordon5387]

@NormanAllen-ps9ju I would if I could. I'd undo it. Can't. They was 1987. This is 2024. I miss him terribly.

[@markgordon5387]

​@@SuperSojournMy maternal grandparents got me listening to Rudee Vallee. I like Lillian Gish and Mary Pickford, too. Silent film stars.

[@agcons]

Cary Grant and Randolph Scott at 3:35. Beautiful.

[@SuperSojourn]

That was photoshopped but I am convinced they had a life long love for each other. Beyond the early stardom which had them sharing a home for a few years before publicity threatened their stardom.

[@ak5659]

I believe there're a few pics which most people think are genuine. Also, weren't they part of the same friend group before they became lovers?

[@nmuphelps1]

Inspiring!

[@roberttrepagnier9149]

These pics are amazing. Are they from some sort of collectipn?

[@totovassallo7255]

Era una brutta epoca per l'amore

[@cosimoepicoco7022]

Per le persone omosessuali! Fino al 1980 l'omosessualità era considerata una malattia!
