On a warm fall day nearly two years ago, Dwayne D. Beebe sat anxiously on the edge of the Plaza Fountain in Plaza Ferdinand Park in Old Pensacola, Florida. He was waiting for the arrival of Jonathan Franqui, the man he had met nearly a month before and with whom he found an instant connection. It was their first real date - after over a week of talking on the phone and texting about their lives, learning about each other's families and friends and life aspirations, they were finally rendezvous up in person. When Jonathan arrived at the park, Dwayne stood up from his seat on the fountain and, without a word, pulled two coins from his pocket. He held them up and said to Jonathan, "The first thing we are going to perform is make a hope in this fountain with these two coins." They silently reflected on their wishes, and together, threw them into the water.

A beautiful group of photographs that spans a century (1850–1950) is part of a new book that offers a visual glimpse of what life may have been like for those men, who went against the law to find love in one another’s arms.

The collection belongs to Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell, a married couple who has accumulated over 2,800 photographs of “men in love” during the course of two decades. While the majority of the images hail from the United States and are of predominantly white men, there are images from Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Japan, Latvia, and the United Kingdom among the cache.
What complete images of men in love during a second when it was illegal tell us? What are we looking for in the faces of these people who dared to challenge the mores of their time to search solace together? Flipping through the book, it wasn’t that I felt that I learned a excellent deal about being LGBTQ, but what gave me comfort was the feeling that we
When we were growing up there were few (if any) gay love stories around for us to be exposed to, whether in real life, on TV, or anywhere else in the media.
We would have absolutely loved to have been able to learn that gay adore stories do exist and that gay relationships and gay romance could be real, true and loving.
That’s why in this blog post we wanted to share some real-life queer love stories from some of our followers on Instagram in the desire that we can spread the message that adore really is for all. [no_toc]
Real Life Gay Adore Stories
Branden and Stephen
Our first gay love story is from Branden and Stephen:
‘It was 2009, Branden was in the closet, looking to find a partnership on an online virtual dating site; Stephen, also pursuing a relationship replied.
We talked online for several days, then we finally made the leap to join in person.
Our first go out was at a local brewery where we talked for hours and played pool. We hit it off immediately, both growing up in the rural parts of Alberta and this being our first gay relationship, we had so much in common.
Fast forward a month and we became “official” boyfriends. We were head over hee
