QUEER TE CRIME STORI OF THE PAST SHOW HOW THE PRS STOKED FEAR OF GAY MEN
Acrdg to Polch, a cultural historian and profsor of global liberal studi at New York Universy, the victim blamg evint acunts of Ivar’s murr was typil of the way the prs vered crim agast gay or prumed-gay men between World War I and the Stonewall uprisg 1969. In the early and mid-20th century, gay and bisexual men were pecially vulnerable to vlence. But crim agast gay men were rarely reported as such the prs.
What he found was a trove of what he lls queer te crime stori — some ont-page news at the time, some buried and long fotten — that chart a history of vlence agast gay men and of society’s attus toward that vlence. Crime stori, he told me, n reveal “a set of cultural anxieti and uncertati” — and the stori he read for Incent Advanc reveal Amerin society’s evolvg but ever-prent anxieti about gay men and their liv the s before Stonewall.
THE GAY MEN FREQUENTED MANHATTAN PIANO BARS. SO DID THEIR KILLER.
” We see their echo, he says, the murrs of trans women of lor, often unrreported by the mastream prs, and “the ntued e of gay nversn therapy, which replays post–World War II arguments that homosexualy is a ndn that n be (and should be) cured.

Are we lookg at targeted crim agast gay men, or are we lookg at somethg else? It’s clear, I thk, that gay men were targets bee [perpetrators] knew they uld be robbed or asslted wh ltle nsequenc.
Mostly bee homosexualy was crimalized. It’s unclear whether they were themselv kd of nformg to standards of the time and had some homosexual hookups ocsnally, or whether they were bisexual, or some kd of fluid sexualy. But what do show, I thk, is how crimalizg homosexual acts, you don’t jt target men who are livg their liv as gay men, but you affect a whole range of sexual practic.
When you talk about gay men beg vulnerable, is that bee many would be aaid of gog to the police after a robbery or asslt bee they themselv would be crimalized? At that time, sodomy laws crimalized homosexual behavr, so you uldn’t really fd any reurse the jtice system.

Once they were arrted and they went to urt, the victim’s fay didn’t want to go to trial bee they were fearful of the publicy that would e wh , makg known their son’s homosexualy.
