EDWARD GOREY, FRANK O’HARA AND HARVARD’S GAY UNRGROUND

His speech, body language, and cultural passns—theater, ballet, the novels of gay satirists of mor and manners such as Saki, Ronald Firbank, E. Benson, and Ivy Compton-Burt—were a talog of stereotypilly gay tras and affi. Yet no one the almost exclively gay crowd he traveled wh ever saw him at gay bars such as the Napoleon Club or the Silver Dollar.

O’Hara, who’d had his first same-sex experience when he was 16, was nflicted about his sexual inty—all too aware of his attractn to men but gnawed by the spicn that gay men were sissi and hnted by fears of what would happen if his secret got out the nservative Irish Catholic muny where he’d grown up, Grafton, Massachetts.

Posthumoly, O’Hara would take his place on the Mount Rhmore of gay letters, but durg his Harvard years he was torn between the closeted life he was forced to live whenever he returned home and the more liberated life he lived at Harvard and Boston’s gay unrground. He looms large the prehistory of mp, the d sensibily that enabled gays, pre-Stonewall tim, to signal their sexualy unr the radar of mastream (read: straight) culture and, simultaneoly, to mock that culture wh tongue firmly cheek. To gay rears who uld read the subtext Firbank’s prickg w and “orchidaceo” style, as tractors lled , his prose hid his queerns pla sight.

The ntent of his novels, which poked fun at bourgeois stutns such as marriage, had special meang for gay rears, too. “One n image how such a flagrant parody of heterosexual mor might functn wh the gay subculture—rercg the self-teem of those who thought their nontradnal sexualy a rebelln agast the nventnalism of late Victorianism, ” wr David Van Leer The Queeng of Ameri. “An appreciatn of [Firbank] beme the lm tt of one’s sexualy and of one’s allegiance to the dandyism of post-Wilan homosexualy.

It’s hard to image Gorey rejoicg the gay “muny solidary” signaled by a fondns for Firbank. “I realize that homosexualy is a ser problem for anyone who is—but then, of urse, heterosexualy is a ser problem for anyone who is, too, ” he said. But beg a homosexual 1946, or facg up to the fact that you might be, was surely jt a ltle b more ser, as problems go, than beg heterosexual.

When Gorey arrived on mp, the Harvard Advote was funct, closed the early 40s by outraged tste who’d disvered that s edorial board was, for all purpos, a gays only club. When the magaze rumed publitn 1947, did so wh the unrstandg that gays were banned om the board (a prohibn everyone disregard but that was nervo-makg nohels).

Whether Gorey thought of himself as gay at Harvard and whether his emergg style and sensibily reprented a g to terms wh his sexualy he never said. Then, too, the fact that he was surround, for the first time his life, by unmistakably gay men—one of whom, Frank O’Hara, had bee a close iend (though not, should be emphasized, a lover)—mt have prsed the qutn of his own sexualy. If he, like O’Hara and others their clique, was stgglg wh his inty, the pervasive homophobia of the tim mt have affected him some way.

” (Dietrich was to gay culture the ’40s what Judy Garland would be to later generatns of gay men. Gorey and O’Hara were a subculture unto themselv wh a larger subculture, the gay unrground.

Even so, says Gooch, “they were a unterculture, ” albe “an early and élist form of ”—textbook exampl of what the cultural cric San Sontag lled the “improvised self-elected class, maly homosexuals, who nstute themselv aristocrats of taste. The transport dtry may not strike you as a stereotypilly gay profsn, if there is such a thg, yet the railway has a higher prevalence of LGBT+ workers than many other sectors.
