These Historic Images Show That Gay Men and Women Have Always Existed, Just on the Downlow

A guy who goes by the name Father Nathan Monk has been collecting photos of gay couples from the past in an effort to highlight the struggles those people went through in eras when same-sex lovers weren’t allowed to marry or even to be together.

Monk said:

“I found the photos online through a couple of different posts. I shared them because I think it’s important to remember those that come before us, those that fought, and struggled to live their authentic life. I believe it’s important to be reminded that LGBTQ+ have always been part of society and always will be. That reality should be lovingly accepted instead of shunned and ridiculed.”

Take a look at these interesting photos.

These Rare Photos of Vintage Grocery Stores Are Surprisingly Cool

There are about a hundred ways you’d be able to spot a vintage photo from a modern one, and that goes double (or triple) for snapshots of old grocery stores. For one thing, people back in the day would not have been caught dead shopping in their pajamas. The stores were also more elegant with wider aisles, and so on and so forth.

You won’t be sorry you took this stroll through eras gone by!
