Did you know Boston had a "Gay Times Square"? And look at how many LGBTQ+ bars there were back in the 1940s, 50s and 60s! Wow 👀

After Frank Howard toured the world as a side show attraction for P.T. Barnum, he worked as a tattoo artist in Boston's West End. In 1908 he told the Globe that circus side shows would never go away. "So long as there is a circus," Howard said, "there will be a side show right there beside it."
