Lovers or Friends?

We came across this photograph from the summer of 1995 that Thomas’ mom took during a trip to NYC. She didn’t know the guys in the photo, and it was just one of many she took that day, but it leaves us with so many questions.

Wonder if the two guys are lovers or just friends who are comfortable enough with themselves to be affectionate in public? Given the time period, we’re guessing they’re just good friends, but did they know their photo was being taken? Wonder who they are and what they’re up to today and if they’re still in each other’s lives? Soooooo many questions.
