ADAM CAROLLA: THE GAY MAFIA IS REAL

More than half of the leadg power brokers Hollywood are Jewish, and about a third of the powerful are homosexual, cludg David Geffen, Ray Stark, Calv Kle, Aaron Spellg, Steve Tisch, Barry Diller and agent Sandy Gall. From Taki's lumn the 3/7/00 I’m not at all surprised to read that Hollywood is domated by a Velvet Mafia of rich homosexuals who mand sexual favors return for work the movi.

(Geffen, as mor has , is supposed to have been thrilled that the movie a homophobe father beats up his son when he spects him to have had a gay affair wh Kev Spacey’s character, and even more thrilled when is later revealed that the homophobe was actually a reprsed gay.

THE RISE OF THE GAY MAFIA, A POWERFUL CABAL THAT NEVER EXISTED

Here is one of Bill Clton’s close supporters, one who had a ee n of the Lln bedroom, and was, I believe, once even lled an adviser to the Draft Dodger, phg a gay agenda of promotg stars and directors who make movi and rerds sympathetic to the gay liftyle. As Pl Craig Roberts (the bt lumnist by far) poted out the John Rocker se, "Bud Selig thks that kids wh purple hair, repeat felons, welfare moms and homosexuals wh AIDS are ‘ethnici. "When I me out of the closet ( 1973), I me to the revolutnary ncln that there was nothg wrong wh beg gay and that clud everyone else as well, " Mp told the LA Tim.

But Buzz, a lively monthly out of Los Angel - 's sort of like Toronto Life but more fun - says s ver story that a lot of people who ph the squeaky-clean, mom-dad-two-kids-pl-dog, relentlsly upbeat Disney image are more than jt cheerful, gang: they're gladly, joyoly gay.

HOW THE MOB HELPED ESTABLISH NYC’S GAY BAR SCENE

Everyone knows Hollywood is a ''boy's club, '' meang straight men n , but even if the straight boys don't accept someone, there are plenty of gays and lbians to bond wh, and there has even arisen, the media, a phrase, ''the gay Mafia.

AT THE start of the film Amerin Bety, Kev Spacey's character, Lter Burnham, says: 'In a year, I will be ad' - and by the movie's end, he is, killed by his reprsed homosexual next- door neighbour. Everyone the film is explosively dysfunctnal, except for the Burnhams' other set of neighbours, an affluent gay uple who float through the mayhem wh disarmg sereny. Its sweep of the Amy Awards' top tegori thrilled Hollywood's gay muny, who have been tryg to prove for a long time that heterosexualy is a sad form of sexual dysfunctn.

This held that heterosexualy was a curse to be nigrated and mocked wherever possible, and that gays uld never w the power they craved society whout unrmg heterosexuals whenever possible.

On the posive ont, the radil gays argued that homosexuals should be entled to get married the same way as heterosexual upl, and that schools should teach about gay sex as if were no more normal or abnormal than male-female terurse. Amics began wrg papers argug for gay parentg, g statistics to suggt that children of gay upl had no more emotnal problems that the average child of a 'straight' fay. The pot of this exercise was to monise normal heterosexual behavur, and to make the ordary ruals of attractn and relatnships seem aberrant, so that gays uld advance their own e by claimg 'straights' led liv that were much worse than theirs.

Ball says he did not even know he was homosexual until he went to universy, but claims to have suffered enough persecutn at the hands of heterosexualy to believe is herently evil. The two men got to know each other 1995 when Cohen ved Jks to be on the steerg mtee of Out There, an activist group of gay entertament executiv that he had -found.

In 20 years of filmmakg, Geffen has bee famo for makg or breakg reers based on whether the people volved are gay and willg to be part of his extremely active sex life.

GAY MAFIA

If you're wonrg why homosexuals have skyrocketed recent years to jo blacks and femists at the top of liberalism's hallowed list of "mory groups" entled to special rights and privileg, look no further than Hollywood --- Tseltown is ntrolled the days by the "Gay Mafia. Beyond the three "dons" of the Gay Mafia, there are of urse many film executiv, agents, and actors --- and the mafia acts ncert to protect each other and their imag. Geffen ma sure the movie "Interview Wh a Vampire, " directed by the homosexual Neil Jordan (who also directed the perverted movie "The Cryg Game") had s homoerotic unrton removed.

The csant need to not only advance their fellow homosexuals but to zealoly protect each other om public scty is bee the "need to mata Ameri's wholome image of them is somethg that nnects Hollywood gays at all levels --- whether one is a stgglg (or a mega- star) actor, wrer, agent, or producer, " Ebner wr. Homosexual ants mand that their "liftyle" be treated as equal to the tradnal fay, yet most still scpuloly hi their inty, preferrg to do their subversive unrmg of Amerin culture as "closeted" revolutnari. The source of the origal outcry was an Augt 2011 rant that clud mentary on gay marriage stemmg om Same Street‘s Bert and Ernie gay ntroversy, which Carolla said gay people should “get married and shut up.

THE GAY MAFIA

When asked by Salon if he is anti-gay, Carolla replied: “You n’t live Hollywood and get along this bs and be theater pani and improv pani and have issu wh gay people.

But there was a time Amerin history when there was a real fear that a gay mafia—known llectively as “homterns”—existed, wieldg ntrol across Hollywood and throughout the arts and entertament dtri.

MAFIA BOSS BBED OUT 'FOR BEG GAY'

In his new book Homtern: How Gay Culture Liberated the Morn World, English amic Gregory Woods chronicl the rise of the “homtern, ” explorg how the longstandg fear of homosexual men spurred a century-long paranoia about an alleged gay mafia ntrollg areas of ernment, the arts and amia. In the mid-19th century the pair rrpond about the threat of “perasts”—an antiquated term referrg to men who had sex wh younger men, sce “homosexual” did not yet exist as a label—to their goal of tablishg non-sexual raship between other men.

Woods wr that was this obssn to tegorize so-lled “unsaid” male sexual impuls and behavrs that actually enuraged the fear of the homosexual figure larger society. ” This sire to study and fe sexual behavr further phed rearchers to “un-closet” the homosexual, all an effort to mystify a sexual inty that had long been ostracized and stigmatized but never really pned down through scientific quiry.

Des later, “homtern” entered Cold War disurse, beg reappropriated by nspiracy theorists that exploed s munist associatn and claimed referred to a longstandg “ternatnal homosexual nspiracy” across the untry, whose one goal was to perate posns the Amerin ernment and urp tradnal Amerin valu of fay and heterosexualy. Wh Amerins fearful of the tonatn of an atomic bomb and a enzy about polics beg overtaken by munist fectors, the elive figure of the homosexual—known but never seen public; closeted but apparently everywhere—was ripe to explo to spire fear.

Woods says that the anxieti around homosexuals Cold War Ameri take some of their orig the social “cleansg” mpaigns enacted Nazi Germany and Soviet Rsia, mpaigns lnched to eradite homosexual men (and other “unwanted” dividuals) om society.

” The report claimed the “filtratn” of homosexuals to Amerin polil life meant that homosexuals would “envabl[y] … attempt to place other homosexuals Government jobs.

The backlash agast homosexuals was only pound by the growg visibily of gay men public life, pecially the arts and entertament dtri, which only pound the ia of an unrground nspiracy of a “gay mafia. ” In 1966, one New York Tim cric mentned the wispread perceptn that bee the men were homosexuals their plays “prent[ed] a badly distorted picture of Amerin women, marriage and society.

Although the men were not “out, ” mors of their sexualy circulated wily Hollywood and galvanized an image of Hollywood beg overn by gay men, many who allegedly wield power and tonomy. Unlike lbians, gay men were seen as the more subversive threat bee they had most public profil as well as more likely to occupy posns of power the entertament dtri. But some two s later, wh the groundswell mpaigns for eedoms and visibily that eventually beme the gay liberatn movement, the homtern lost all currency Amerin life.
