Not married but willing to be: Pictures of male lovers from 1850s to 1950s

Looking at these pictures always makes me feel a certain way. Makes me wonder what kind of lives these men end up leading. Wonder if they "made it", especially for the last picture. Assuming they're in their 20's, they might have lived through a decent part of the modern day and lived through the AIDS pandemic.

What would they think of life and gay culture today? The journey we took to get here. Did they even dare to dream of the future we take for granted today? Food for thought.
