Fourteen years after getting "unofficially" married in 1992, Texan art collectors Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell officially tied the knot in Massachusetts in 2006. The state was then "the only place in the US where it was possible to get married", but even that came with a clause: the couple had to "legally set up residence in Boston, with an address, utilities, phone service, and a bank account," as then-Governor Mitt Romney had revived a forgotten law from 1913 preventing Massachusetts from becoming, in his words, “the Las Vegas of same-sex marriage.”⁠
⁠
At some point between these two weddings, Hugh and Neal found an image among a pile of vintage pictures at an antique store in Texas that blew their minds: in front of a small 1920s-style house “were two young men, embracing and gazing at one another, clearly in love.” The photo dated back to when same-sex relationships were illegal not only in the States, but in most countries across the world (as they still remain in a number of those countries).⁠
⁠
Thanks to the pair’s formidable research and passion, today their collection amounts to over 2,800 vintage photographs spanning from roughly 1850 to 1951, shot around the world. The collection is included in their book, “Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s-1950s.”
