There's also a few photo albums devoted to vintage photos of people in love.

I should change my original post. It sounds like this is my page and it's not. I came across it earlier and I really liked it.

I love the photos.

I stink at facebook...where is the photo page?

Not to sound too fogeyish, but I think the sense of history and how far we've come is too often missing in the gay community.

I agree wholeheartedly.

The photos can be found under the "Photos" tab next to the "Info" tab.

May 22 is Harvey Milk Day in California and I'm hoping something big happens. For a few months over the summer, there was a museum dedicated to gay history. It wasn't very inclusive, but it did have the suit Harvey Milk was assassinated in.

No. I can see the pictures and they haven't approved my request yet.

Clicking on "View Photos" under their main picture will also take you to their photos.

No photo page for me...I hate when I'm unpopular.

I'll post a screenshot of how I get there... once I get my photobucket password reset. Waiting for the email.

Interesting page, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to insinuate that all those photos are of men and women who are gay or in love.

Have you ever seen the book "Dear Friends?" It's a beautiful book of 19th century photographs of male couples - not clear whether they are romantic couples or not, but the early photography is stunning in its composition and understated sensuality.

Here's a link to an exhibition of the photographs at the ICP in New York in 2001:

Dear Friends: American Photographs of Men Together, 1840 - 1918
