As you can see, I’m mixing things up a bit with this week’s Vintage Gay post. I track an art blog (you can see it in my blogroll) called ultrawolvesunderthefullmoon and the artwork of this Japanese artist caught my attention. In the images above and below I see gay men from the 1980s. Their clothing, preppy haircuts, and cleancut look scream 1980s to me.
Ben Kimura (木村べん) b. 1947 – d. 2003 was a Japanese gay erotic artist who along with George Takeuchi and Sadao Hasegawa, is noted as a central figure in the second wave of contemporary gay artists that emerged in Japan in the 1970s.

Here is a great photograph from the Castro in the 1980s I assume. The image is one of many from DJ Mag which posted a great article this past January entitled, It Takes A Village, People: Preserving San Francisco’s Gay Disco History.
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where organism true to yourself and loving who you long wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

31 Vintage Photos Of LGBT+ People Proving They Are Not “Something Millennials Invented”
They say true love knows no bounds – yet not everyone can quite understand this concept and try to enforce their own views on how love should look enjoy. This is especially prevalent when it comes to love between gay couples, with some people going as far as calling it “something millennials invented”.
Tired of this prejudice, former priest Nathan Monk has collected a series of vintage photos of queer couples, proving they were always there but were afraid of openly displaying their feelings. “I set up the photos online through a couple of alternative posts,” said Father Nathan in an interview with Bored Panda. “I common them because I reflect it’s important to retain those that come before us, those that fought, and struggled to dwell their authentic life. I believe it’s important to be reminded that Diverse have always been part of society and always will be. That actual world should be lovingly recognized instead of shunned and ridiculed.”

Gay affectionate is love. Gay sex is love. In Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s–1950 we see men loving men in various ambrotypes, daguerreotypes, glass negatives, tintypes, cabinet cards, photo postcards, photo strips, photomatics and snapshots. Pictures of love should raise a smile. But when love is outlawed, these images show us how far we’ve show up and in many places still have to commute. Life is hard. To live a secret existence when love between consenting adults is banned and censured by people sure they know better exposure making the difficult unbearable.
“Our collection began when we came across an vintage photo that we mind was one of a kind. The subjects in that vintage photo were two young men, embracing and gazing at one another – clearly in love. We looked at that photo, and it reflected us back to ourselves. We were intrigued that a photo appreciate that could have survived into the 21st century. Who were they? And how did their snapshot end up at an antique shop in Dallas, Texas?
