I posted a photo from this set I found on queerty.com a couple of months ago.  Today I found more images from the set!  The gentleman (the irreverent psychologist!) who posted these on his blog put it best below:

Invisible: Philadelphia Gay Wedding c. 1957

Here is a set of images I found on the One Archives. The images were all of a same sex wedding held in Philadelphia sometime around 1957. The photoshop found the images inappropriate and never returned them to the young couple. It's heartbreaking to think about how much of these two handsome young men's lives were rendered invisible. At the same time they found a way to have a love strong enough to be witnessed in a ceremony of a community of people who loved them. Take a moment to think of their existence. Take a moment to notice them and let them be real.

^^^ This!  Editing to add I just found through more Googling that the irreverent psychologist has a Tumblr and it's fabulous.  Check it out here.
