This image is in the ONE Archives at USC (https://one.usc.edu/), the largest repository of LGBTQ materials in the world. In June 2017, in a Gallery thread called Meet Me in the Photo Booth, Moondance quoted a TIME.COM story about it: "Today, it might seem like any other informal, casual photograph of a young gay couple enjoying each other's company. But this picture was taken in 1953, a time when purposefully vague statutes on morals, lewd conduct, or disorderly conduct in many states allowed the police to target and arrest gay and lesbian people for such transgressions as wearing items of clothing of the opposite sex, propositioning someone of the same sex, or even holding hands with a member of the same sex. This photo could have gotten these men arrested. "The picture was once owned by the young man on the right, Joseph John Bertrund Belanger. Born in Edmonton, Canada, in 1925, he served in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was a member of the Mattachine Society in the early 1950s. For most of his life (he died in 1993), he was a devoted collector of LGBT history. It is thanks to his foresight that the image survives. "What remains so remarkable and moving about this particular image is how quietly radical it feels all these years later. Belanger and another man have found a private safe-space in the unlikeliest of places -- an ordinary photo booth -- where they felt so at ease, and so themselves, they could kiss each other far from the prying eyes of a disapproving public."

Ah, I hadn't thought of archers being a fit for this thread, @sync. Good idea! Moondance (who started this thread) also did one called Bows & Arrows (https://m4m-forum.org/threads/bows-arrows.133779/); this is a nice image from that thread: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CX5uQcGgpIY/VKv30KgbnHI/AAAAAAAAeck/NBiUQbwxIDc/s1600/Eroticism%2Bin%2BArchery%2BPhotography%2B09.JPG
