Imagine a time when asking someone whether they’re gay or not was absolutely out of the question. Queers needed a code to live by then; a sign or secret language that drew the attention of other limp-wristed folk like them. For her personal portfolio, our favorite nostalgia-lensed photographer Shaira Luna travels back to a time when the only way you could live “out” loud was through a dandy-patterned pocket square or the exuberant print of your shirt. Strung along for this retro ride are Hanging Out’s Jox Gonzales and Eboy Fernandez (the show’s beloved GBFs Adrian and Jessie), strangers before the series and now buddies who seem like they’ve been friends from way back when. Even during a period where the rainbow didn’t shine so bright, a friendship like Jox and Eboy’s can bring out the technicolor.
