Who lands a venereal-disease ward for syphilis, surely bee Burns ntracted the disease after sex wh what he lled a Neapolan “dreadful” — the mpy slang term for “gay” he ed his letters to David MacMack, a gay stunt back at Loomis to whom he supplied what was surely the richt and most ndid scriptns ever of gay life the Amerin ary durg World War II. Undoubtedly the book’s most remarkable portra is of Momma, the proprietrs of the Galleria’s gay bar, where, every day but Sunday om 4:30 p. M., gay soldiers om every branch of the Grand Alliance gather to imbibe and cise and sometim sre.

THE GREAT (GAY) NOVELIST YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF

Whether Momma’s Bar ever really existed or was simply Burns’s earnt dream is unclear and, a way, irrelevant: for someone as evasive about his own sexualy as a gay man of his generatn had to be — ostentatly “datg” and pretendg perdilly to have a fiancée — was more than a startlgly rgg endorsement of gay culture; was an act of enormo and atypil, almost explible, urage. The men the gallery of gays (and, wh only a uple of exceptns, they are all men) “The Gallery” are alternately lonely, proud, unpleasant, sensive, offic, effemate, macho, offensive and lovable; other words, reasonably normal, rather than the suicidal eaks and crimals that had populated Amerin lerature, gay and straight, up to then. Whether out of disda and disfort or jt pla cluelsns, the book’s pervasive gayns — apparent not jt the chapter on Momma’s bar but om the “bobby p” clu sprkled throughout — was almost entirely ignored.

This nspiracy of silence sulated Burns om the hostily that greeted Gore Vidal’s more explicly gay novel, “The Cy and the Pillar, ” which appeared the followg year and which the hyperpetive Burns, who once lled Vidal “our prcipal rival the welterweight divisn, ” ttily dismissed as a “dismal failure. ” (Burns was equally cril of the era’s other major gay wrer, Tman Capote, llg his novel “Other Voic, Other Rooms” “nonsense” and predictg that Capote’s famo jacket photograph — featurg, as Burns scribed , “the fgernail polish, the waistat, the hairdo of a Mongolian idt” — would fish him.

” The equally petive Vidal, who nfsed his journal that he found Burns’s talent posively paful — “the digny of ‘The Gallery’ is like a blow, ” he plaed — later lled “Momma” one of the most brilliant passag all of gay lerature. ” People uld sense he was up to somethg subversive — “the most dangero man on the faculty, ” someone lled him — and not jt bee of his charismatic power over a small clique of the most telligent and artsy (and, often, gay) stunts. That Orchard himself was prumed to be gay purchased him no immuny; his character was skewered for somehow beg too gay and not gay enough.
