Not only spoilt by computersoundtrack mentioning men as 'she' or 'her' but even worse: complete ridiculous nonsence as in photograph 14 refering to jeans as a fashion item (between 1850 and 1950 !) while jeans before 1950 never ever were a fashion thing. Complete nonsence. In the photograph you can clearly see a (gray) wool pants and not a (blue) jeans. Jeans were definately workingclothes only, for factory workers and farmers, not a fashion item. Do your homework.
"LOVING: A Photographic History of Men in Love", our book, is where these images are taken directly from. As is some of the commentary - taken from our essay titled, "An Accidental Collection". We have over 3000 images in our collection. There are 327 in our book, from which these 15 are borrowed. Could you at least promote our book if you're going to use our collection for your content.
I just bought your book and immediately recognized the pictures in the thumbnail of this video. Came down here to comment on the lack of credit being given to you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection with the world.
@@hughnini2167 thank you for letting me know the source material. Looking to buy 3 copies for now, two as gifts and one for myself. My son is a queer man (queer is the title he prefers) and for my daughter, soon to be two daughters for their wedding gift in October ❤ We have 5 children with 2 in the LGBTQ + community. My grandparents had 12 children and 3 of the 5 sons are/were (2 have passed away) gay, and 2 of the 7 daughters. We call it ours the crooked Branch, as in not straight, of the family tree. Branch capitalized because that's our family name, all the puns intended 🤦♀️🌈
My Granny found the Germans killing her brother in WW1 offensive...She found the 1918 flu pandemic offensive... She found loosing my uncle to a German mine in WW2 offensive and a bomb dropping on her best friends house and killing her friend offensive....Perhaps you need a reality check...Or even stronger medication.
@@Cardifftoyboy1 I’m not down playing any thing you mentioned. My ancestors lived and died through the same horrific experiences. I’m just saying why would you refer to a man as she? And yes I am offended by it My opinion my feeling Not out there to minimize anyone’s real pain from horrible times
Ok, you all have to realize that this video was not made in English to begin with. How do I know that? Mainly because of how the sentences are structured. It's obvious that some sort of translation program was used in order to make this video in English, so because of that, some of the pronouns and nouns are going to be misused, so everybody really needs to take a chill pill and let it go. I'm sure the creators of this video didn't make them to insult anybody.

I'm a historian and you're wrong, all these photos are proven to be of couples, there are writings behind them or letters... Search there are already books published with them, without Intolerance... Please..
I don't know if all of these men are in gay relationships or not but who cares anyway, they are lovely photos to look at. I think that if people are gay or straight or of an other sexual origin then that's their business and should be left to it. People should be treated as a human being and not by a label

photograph #3 wasn't in the 1880 .. it is a photo from 1910 - 1920's this is too modern to have been in the 1880's .. why does the narrator keep calling one of the men her or she ?
Thank you for the effort that went into this. I, personally, find the narration very distracting--so much so that it destroys the emotional impact the photos might otherwise have. My thoughts would be to either 1: redo the narration with an actual human voice, or 2: remove it and let the images speak for themselves. I offer this in a spirit of support for an even better video. Thank you for putting this together, and thank you for crediting the Nini-Treadwell Collection.
The idea here is nice but there is no evidence that a lot of these are couples. #1 The two "farmer" guys look enough alike to possibly be brothers. #4 The two holding the "not married but willing to be" could be from a mining community or newly populated area and are advertising for wives. #5 The couple with the umbrella looks staged and possibly a joke. #7 looks like brothers also. #8 The "Cowboy Dance" was not an uncommon thing for men, not romantic couples, to dance together when no women were available. I obviously don't have evidence to offer of my opinion on these but that is no different than the lack of evidence offered in the video. I'm a gay male and I would love if all these were true to the descriptions given but there are too many LGBTQ+ people who have actually gone through hell for their relationships to just randomly pick photos and give them a backstory.
You could be right, however gay couples have been photographed since the 1800's when cameras were first invented. Not to say that these photos are faked or that they are staged, none of us honestly really know. But there have been actual photos of gay couples on the web, you just have to look for them.
This video is a poor representation of our collection, and recently published book, "Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850s - 1950s. For instance, #4 is only one of five that we have of this couple. Two are included in our book. They are definitely not looking for "wives". Our book speaks for itself. This video, which we had nothing to do with and don't approve of, doesn't.
Agreed, and I've a bit to add. 'Gay' as an identity or a type/kind of human male is a fairly new idea. IIRC, it dates back to the late 1800's habit of pigeonholing everything so as not to label things as being the same due to superficial similarities. It wasn't until the late 1930's/WWII that distorted versions of all sorts of labels hit the general public. Previously, a man having sex with another man was an activity men engaged in. It didn't indicate anything one way or the other about what kind of man they were. They were men. Full stop. If no women are available, is there any reason not to dance with or have sex with a friend you're spending time with anyway?
Ok several of the photos I doubt were of gay guys .. Number 8 was just of guys in an isolated place where there were no women .. This was common in the mining camps timber camps out west .. It was even common with soldiers during war

I find it quite strange when I hear a man refer to another man as his husband. Quite a few of my friends feel the same. No I am not homophobic, that would be difficult as I am a gay man. I always referred to my boyfriend as just that or as my partner.
@@percy6383 That’s because society has drilled into our head the perfect “Mr & Mrs life” it’s not as common to hear his husband or her wife because even though gay marriage is legal in a lot of place people are still new to it and tip toeing around the idea of it. Hopefully generations to come will feel differently.
Your interpretation of these pictures is not necessarily accurate. I would venture an educated guess that your interpretation of at least 75 percent of the pictures is inaccurate.

I understand the need to use AI narration. However, this one has multiple pronunciation errors and the software appears not to recognize punctuation. As a result one cannot simply take in information; one must !mentally review and correct each sentence. Separately, did anyone listen to the voice before selecting it? This is one of the most grating voices I've heard. I've difficulty believing anyone with intact hearing willingly selected it
I think this person used a translator. And a speech app can't say for sure but I know when I use my speech to text sometimes things that I want written down doesn't come out right. But if you're that sensitive about a mispronunciation or someone misspeaking maybe you should find another video channel to watch.
Very interesting and beautiful photographs. But the one of the "stag dance," at about 4:40, I think does not necessarily imply that ALL those men were gay...In certain situations, where women were simply "not there," or 100% unavailable, men often shared "more intimate" types of time/s together...not necessarily being gay/homosexual. Nonetheless, I love the photos, ALL of them!
In at least two of the examples, the narrator referred to one of the pair as "her". I see no reason to address them in this manner -- they are male -- hence "Him".
Why the obsession about man to man love? It is here, it is real, it is staying, get used to it or get over it. You are so focused on men but forget the fact that there is the love from woman to woman as well. It is so much of a brow raise when it is men but not so much and almost a normalcy when it’s women. The double standard of it all.

Why, in Photographic 6, does the narrator call the guy on our left "her" when it is obviously a male. This is not the only instance of this by the narrator on this channel!
I jus so love photograph # 7 and especially # 8 gay cowboys back in that era????? no way, lol, it can't be, I guess it be, lol, great photos 👏💯☺️🤠👍 more please and get rid of that voice please, it's somewhat annoying, thank you!😉 Happy Holidays 🌟💐🌲⛄🎁🎀🏳️🌈
Um sorry im gay myself so im not a hater . But many of the photos you say are gay are not in fact gay . It was a common thing in the old west or mineing camps that there was a lack of women an people then wanted to celebrate a holiday or just a day not working something that there was little of . Men back then we're very secure in who they were an it was not thought of like in modern times that if you danced with a guy that they were gay or homosexual the former word meaning happy an the latter not existing . Also it was common to show affection in a photograph for a friend , cousin or brother in this way you could write on the back of a picture but why not show it there is nothing odd about that especially at That time moving pictures would no be around till the 1890s . And the Kodak brownie camera had come on the market for people to take there own pictures an the language that was conveyed was through the talent of the artist taking the picture . Before the professional photographer was the one conducting the scene . The point that im making unless it has been documented in writing from that time an associated with the picture you can't say they were gay straight or just making a funny picture like the two guys holding the sign . I think this sign does discredit to my community with something like this. Your applying the way that people see things in this day and time . I think it's wrong to do that now an certainly to try an apply it to that time . I applaud all gay people what ever time they lived an there were plenty without adding straight people .
Yet again...while it is likely some of these photos show gay men, I don't think we can assume that all do. Until notions of masculinity took a wrong turn and changed the ways that men can relate to each other with affectionate closeness, hand holding, closeness in physical space and more were homosocial, without implying homosexuality. Rather than claim all these images as queer, we should look at them as historical moments in a time that is different from our own present. The narrative is irritating because it sounds so naive.
Back in the day,if you were asked,"are you a friend of dorothy?"you were being asked if you were gay,discreetly.im 58 & lesbian.i could tell you some things.lol.😻🥀🦋
I appreciate the pictures, but that robotic voice is terrible. Also, she repeatedly got the pronouns wrong......she instead of he. Still interesting to watch.

I, for one, cannot wait until the vogue for computer-generated narrative voices has passed. They are completely unnecessary in terms of production for anything but the most banal purposes. A human voice is always going to be better. Is this video being translated into so many languages that a robot is required for economic reasons? I doubt it.

I hate to rain on anyone’s parade, but many of these images are a “’natural and unself-conscious intimacy and physical contact that men enjoyed in a pre-Freudian era rather than portraits of lovers held in each other’s embrace…”

Why use the computerized word "homosexuals" ? Welcome to 2020. Try saying LGBTQ2S etc. Or just the word "gay". The computerized voice is so so insincere sounding.

In most of them what we can clearly see is that they were siblings and until the 1940s this relationships were far more accepted than after the WWII. There has been gay people since mankind exists but the concept of homo , bi and hetero was created by the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud and spread around the world by other socialists , discrimination started during the 1930s and 1940s in Hollywood and got worst after WWII , before that there was nothing wrong with this photos and men and women that had sex with people with same sex as theirs didn't see themselves as homosexual because the concept did not exist , before the socialists fathered the concepts of homosexuality , bisexuality and heterosexuality people did not discriminate against what they called musical persons , they didn't even had a word for it. It was normal for both sexes to marry virgin with the opposite sex but with a good initiation with the same and some of them kept their first same sex lovers after they got married. People often accuse the Russians and eastern Europeans in general of being homophobes but forget that they have been under socialist rule until the 1990s , that the socialists created the homo , the bi , the hetero and consequently the homophobe and that they are still creating new sexualities and divisions today.

I love the couple in 4th photo. They were so explicitly to declare their 💕.
The sign is ambiguous.
A celebration of love! I love it.
The dancing couples are not necessarily gay. Many men in the old west danced together because there were no women
Thank You. I was just going to say the same thing!

Photos from the Nini-Treadwell Collection and in our new book "LOVING A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s - 1950s" :)
Thanks!
These photos could have cost these men their lives yet they still took them. Very courageous.
Beautiful vintage photos.
Hello greetings
The men here were very brave to be photographed so intimately in an era were homosexuality was illegal.
beautiful and powerful
Wonderful

HIS LOVER not hers
My husband was my husband and I was his husband. what's this wife business?
I find it quite strange when I hear a man refer to another man as his husband. Quite a few of my friends feel the same. No I am not homophobic, that would be difficult as I am a gay man. I always referred to my boyfriend as just that or as my partner.
@@percy6383 That’s because society has drilled into our head the perfect “Mr & Mrs life” it’s not as common to hear his husband or her wife because even though gay marriage is legal in a lot of place people are still new to it and tip toeing around the idea of it. Hopefully generations to come will feel differently.
Hello greetings
Your interpretation of these pictures is not necessarily accurate. I would venture an educated guess that your interpretation of at least 75 percent of the pictures is inaccurate.
PS why does the audio say she several times instead of he ??
Ive always wondered if these men found happiness in life or were these photos only a moment of happiness in time?
The gay and bisexual men in those times were the sexiest.
beautiful photos, yet the voice over ruined the entire collage...
The young man in #3 is so handsome. I wish I knew what he was thinking. Is he contemplative, embarrassed or what? His eyes appear closed.
Wonderfol
I ask God to forgive me for breaking up with Terry Don son of Donald and Bernice. God grant him Your love, and the love of another.

Talk about misery gay people in the past were under terrible hate and persecution
I understand the need to use AI narration. However, this one has multiple pronunciation errors and the software appears not to recognize punctuation. As a result one cannot simply take in information; one must !mentally review and correct each sentence.
Separately, did anyone listen to the voice before selecting it? This is one of the most grating voices I've heard. I've difficulty believing anyone with intact hearing willingly selected it
#2 clearly brothers
You twice referred to one of the men in a picture as Her!
I think this person used a translator. And a speech app can't say for sure but I know when I use my speech to text sometimes things that I want written down doesn't come out right.
But if you're that sensitive about a mispronunciation or someone misspeaking maybe you should find another video channel to watch.
Very interesting and beautiful photographs. But the one of the "stag dance," at about 4:40, I think does not necessarily imply that ALL those men were gay...In certain situations, where women were simply "not there," or 100% unavailable, men often shared "more intimate" types of time/s together...not necessarily being gay/homosexual. Nonetheless, I love the photos, ALL of them!
In at least two of the examples, the narrator referred to one of the pair as "her". I see no reason to address them in this manner -- they are male -- hence "Him".
Someone should tell them that the 1050s were not in the 19th centu6
At about 6:25 why did the commentator say "HER lover's belly" when clearly neither of the two men in the picture are transgender.
Why the obsession about man to man love? It is here, it is real, it is staying, get used to it or get over it. You are so focused on men but forget the fact that there is the love from woman to woman as well. It is so much of a brow raise when it is men but not so much and almost a normalcy when it’s women. The double standard of it all.
Affection between 2 men is not necessarily gay
It is when sexual attraction comes into play
Genderless love immemorial......leaving lump in the throat..sigh🥴😥 - L'amour gagne toujours! (Love always win!) 🌈💜💜💜
Great Videos, real voice please.

Really nice...
Why, in Photographic 6, does the narrator call the guy on our left "her" when it is obviously a male. This is not the only instance of this by the narrator on this channel!
Alot of these dont seem to be 19rh century
I jus so love photograph # 7 and especially # 8 gay cowboys back in that era????? no way, lol, it can't be, I guess it be, lol, great photos 👏💯☺️🤠👍 more please and get rid of that voice please, it's somewhat annoying, thank you!😉 Happy Holidays 🌟💐🌲⛄🎁🎀🏳️🌈
Um sorry im gay myself so im not a hater . But many of the photos you say are gay are not in fact gay . It was a common thing in the old west or mineing camps that there was a lack of women an people then wanted to celebrate a holiday or just a day not working something that there was little of . Men back then we're very secure in who they were an it was not thought of like in modern times that if you danced with a guy that they were gay or homosexual the former word meaning happy an the latter not existing . Also it was common to show affection in a photograph for a friend , cousin or brother in this way you could write on the back of a picture but why not show it there is nothing odd about that especially at That time moving pictures would no be around till the 1890s . And the Kodak brownie camera had come on the market for people to take there own pictures an the language that was conveyed was through the talent of the artist taking the picture . Before the professional photographer was the one conducting the scene . The point that im making unless it has been documented in writing from that time an associated with the picture you can't say they were gay straight or just making a funny picture like the two guys holding the sign . I think this sign does discredit to my community with something like this. Your applying the way that people see things in this day and time . I think it's wrong to do that now an certainly to try an apply it to that time . I applaud all gay people what ever time they lived an there were plenty without adding straight people .
Very well said.
Why the race through the photos? I thought the point was so that we could see them, not have to stop every fraction of a second.
Yet again...while it is likely some of these photos show gay men, I don't think we can assume that all do. Until notions of masculinity took a wrong turn and changed the ways that men can relate to each other with affectionate closeness, hand holding, closeness in physical space and more were homosocial, without implying homosexuality. Rather than claim all these images as queer, we should look at them as historical moments in a time that is different from our own present. The narrative is irritating because it sounds so naive.
Back in the day,if you were asked,"are you a friend of dorothy?"you were being asked if you were gay,discreetly.im 58 & lesbian.i could tell you some things.lol.😻🥀🦋
Hello greetings
Many of these men werent necessarily homosexual
this is really nice, but why can't someone narrate this??
nice as it is, it lacks feeling!!
"spoilt"???? Geezus no they are not
Beautiful pics, but very annoying robotic voice.
I appreciate the pictures, but that robotic voice is terrible. Also, she repeatedly got the pronouns wrong......she instead of he. Still interesting to watch.

Just male couples ?
Unwatchable with dreadful commentary

I, for one, cannot wait until the vogue for computer-generated narrative voices has passed. They are completely unnecessary in terms of production for anything but the most banal purposes. A human voice is always going to be better. Is this video being translated into so many languages that a robot is required for economic reasons? I doubt it. Bored to death with their tinny, flat delivery
Photo number 2... The 2 men look hot mmm

Man cannot change Gods laws
Not everyone wants to believe in the magical sky man
Well philosophers say that man made God. Nietzsche says that God is dead?? I really don't care. Love is love.
God made gay people - men made assumptions
Why do you keep on misgendering these men, referring to them as her & she?
Hello greetings
When the human family falls apart civilization falls
Please don't refer to men in the photos as she.
Hello greetings
I hate to rain on anyone’s parade, but many of these images are a “’natural and unself-conscious intimacy and physical contact that men enjoyed in a pre-Freudian era rather than portraits of lovers held in each other’s embrace…”

Hello greetings
Why do you keep referring to me as her? The proper pronoun is he/him/his...
What’s with the “her” 🤔
I am not against them but the gvmt paying for these surgeries should be pay by the individuals uf this is what they want
Why use the computerized word "homosexuals" ? Welcome to 2020. Try saying LGBTQ2S etc. Or just the word "gay". The computerized voice is so so insincere sounding.
Thank you!

In most of them what we can clearly see is that they were siblings and until the 1940s this relationships were far more accepted than after the WWII.
There has been gay people since mankind exists but the concept of homo , bi and hetero was created by the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud and spread around the world by other socialists , discrimination started during the 1930s and 1940s in Hollywood and got worst after WWII , before that there was nothing wrong with this photos and men and women that had sex with people with same sex as theirs didn't see themselves as homosexual because the concept did not exist , before the socialists fathered the concepts of homosexuality , bisexuality and heterosexuality people did not discriminate against what they called musical persons , they didn't even had a word for it.
It was normal for both sexes to marry virgin with the opposite sex but with a good initiation with the same and some of them kept their first same sex lovers after they got married.
People often accuse the Russians and eastern Europeans in general of being homophobes but forget that they have been under socialist rule until the 1990s , that the socialists created the homo , the bi , the hetero and consequently the homophobe and that they are still creating new sexualities and divisions today.
Men could face death for homosexuality as early as the 100ADs in the Roman empire.
You're not particularly worries about being accurate, are you?
I wish, the correct pro-noun was used through out the video.
Why do you use synthetic voice ?. Don’t do this
Kissing a man, I'd rather make out.......with Frankenstein
frankenstein was a guy…
Frankenstein was a male, silly
Why are these men being referred to as she?
