<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 122635, member: 37"]Some photos of gay people were taken but people's manner of expressing affection was different than today. I doubt any overt sexual gestures were being expressed in a formal portrait. Holding hands would be more typical and gay or straight might do so. You might see something different in a snapshot. Context is everything. That said, there are people who will read in to it what they want. Photos such as the one being discussed are sought after.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
