Experimenting any sort of contact with another man can make every male become a pray for homosexuality.

With these and other lies, we tend to stereotype the male gender and its practices without realizing that these are mere prejudices.

These photographs once belonged to Herbert Mitchell, a former librarian of the University of Columbia who donated these curious images to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. An avid collector of antiquities and rarities, Mitchell carefully guarded these portraits that date from the nineteenth century, between 1850 and 1890. These portray men tenderly holding hands, with their legs crossed, and enjoying an intimate contact that shows no guilt, self-censorship, nor disgust. None of these images have a description or some sort of identification, leaving the relationship of the models to the spectator’s interpretation. One important fact was that not all the models were homosexual nor were attracted to each other, although they could deal with the erotic representation of the photos. They were just friends, relatives, mates, etc. Who cares? Holding hands makes them automatically gay? And if they were, what’s the matter?
