MY GAY SUMMER : VINTAGE MEN IN SWIMWEAR


That was the summer we met Bob and Pierre
His face lit up whenever we were together
 
In those days no one thought much of two guys hugging
The best thing about him was he made me laugh
Harry got hard whenever I touched him, I knew it was on
That summer the sand seemed whiter, the sky bluer, I was in love
After that summer we never parted
The photographer was hot, later we all slept on the beach
I had never felt such sheer joy before I met Jack
I'd just bought his car, his little finger tickled my palm and we never parted after that
 
He loved to surf and he loved to love
 
There was one section of the beach that was just for us
 
 
 
Fire Island was the place to be, the parties lasted for days

Posted by Picasa Mike Disfarmer {photos 1,2,3} was a cranky American rural photographer of the depression and war years who was not discovered by major New York galleries until decades after his death. There are a few books on him still in print, and a very good recent documentary called DISFARMER: A Portrait of America. This is my 18th HELLO SAILOR post. In this series I am selecting vintage photos and postcards that represent male companionship, buddies, and sometimes lovers. Some scholars will say that in those days men held hands, or sat in each others laps, and it meant only friendship. Well now we know that wasn't always the case obviously. The 'love that dare not speak its name' has never been fully recorded, photos like these need to be seen.  The viewer can then see what was once hidden, or denied.  Gay couples did exist, right back to the beginning of time, across many cultures. And it is only now that people are realizing to what extent. And don't let anyone tell you that being gay is only a recent idea. They are the ones in denial.
