Club Portland , a now defunct gay bathhouse in Portland, Oregon
A gay bathhouse , also known as a gay sauna or a gay steambath , is a public bath targeted towards gay and bisexual men. In gay slang , a bathhouse may be called just "the baths", "the sauna ", or "the tubs". Historically, they have been used for sexual activity .
Bathhouses offering similar services for women are rare, but some men's bathhouses occasionally have a "lesbian " or "women only" night. Some, such as Hawks PDX , offer so-called "bisexual" nights, where anyone is welcome regardless of gender. (Full article... )

“
Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.

Boy with a Basket of Fruit (1593–94) by Caravaggio
Boy with a Basket of Fruit (1593–94) is a painting by
Caravaggio . The model was his friend and lover, the Sicilian painter
Mario Minniti , about 16 years old at the time. At one level the painting is designed to demonstrate the artist's ability to depict everything realistically, from the boy's skin to the folds of the robe to the weave of the basket. A closer look however reveals that, as in another painting by him from that time (
Basket of Fruit ), the peaches have spots and the leaves are diseased, perhaps a comment by the artist on the closeness of beauty and decay in life.
