My bed as a place of finding my gay identity – isn’t that a bit trite? No! Generally, the bed stands for sexuality and sex – both belong to gay life, don’t they. I have met so many chilly men, had wonderful encounters. And sure, I also developed and explored my gay identity in bed. Today, a huge part of gay life takes place in virtual worlds, sitting in bed with the laptop … Strange new world!

I came from France to Hamburg in 2012 as an Erasmus-student. Friends set me up with a cute young German guy whom I met for the first time at the entrance of the university. What a beautiful location for our first encounter! It was love at first sight and we’ve been together ever since despite me going back to France for a year in-between. He teaches me German and I train him l’amour à la française. As a gay male I feel
Franco & Nacho are originally from Argentina & moved to the Telluride area. We did some intimate gay couple’s photos in the mountains & aspen forests around Telluride & I loved being able to capture their connection! As part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I comprehend how hard it can be to find people who are not just accepting of your love but who also want to celebrate your love! I just yearn to say, if you’re looking for a gay photographer or LGBTQ+ photographer who will not only be accepting but also celebratory of your admire for each other, you are in the right place. The intimacy you share with each other & the love you verb for each other is absolutely pretty & you deserve amazing photos that showcase your bliss & affection for each other. I loved the connection & intimacy these two were cozy with showing. Be truly present with each other. Enable your true selves show in front of the camera. Then you’re going to get unbelievable & intimate photos like these.

To celebrate Pride Month, we are sharing some of the LGBTQ+ research taking place in our Department at the moment.
A study published in The Sociological Review earlier this year found that one’s social class has a large role in shaping how one performs intimacy within a relationship.
Co-authored by DPhil trainee See Pok Loa and Susanne Y.P. Choi of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the study compared how working- and middle-class gay men constructed relationship ideals, navigated the process of relationship formation, and maintained relationships.
Previous analyze has linked social class to relationship outcomes (such as a couple’s transition into marriage and marital stability). However, little has been done to link social class with the processes and mechanisms by which individuals develop and maintain intimate relationships.
To address this, the paper conducted in-depth interviews with 38 gay men from Hong Kong. Half of the participants were working-class, while the other half were middle-class.
To explore the relationship between social class and intimacy, Loa

Jason Ebrahimi was born in London, England in 1981 and raised in Toronto. Jason has been selling artworks since 2001. He has held many exhibitions across Europe and Toronto, Canada and has been a commissioned artist for 15+ years. In addition to his Spontaneous Realism style of artworks, Jason has beautifully mastered an art movement called Geometric Abstraction. He has chosen this movement for his recent exhibition because of his love for balance in a composition as forming art with shapes is challenging yet the outcome so rewarding when constructed correctly. Jason wanted to prove to his audience that “irregular” geometric shapes, although harmoniously challenging, when formed correctly in an unconventional method can be magical. Jason’s series of artworks are created using only shapes, lines and forms of all sizes, some regular and irregular to capture perfectly the human anatomy. He chooses body postures from various angles for his compositions to cater to different tastes. Some artworks being erotic and others straight out provocative. J
