GAY AND GAY-IENDLY HOTELS CASABLAN

The gay subtexts. Also strong gay subtexts, at least the movi I've seen:.

The Malte Faln (1941): Detective Sam Spa (Bogie) wrts the myster statue om the hands of a gay crimal. There is also, apparently, a gay nnectn real life.

Due to his lisp, sophistitn, and feme mannerisms, Bogie was often assumed gay. Was he gay?

Wa -- he had no problem wh gay people, yet grew suicidal over the thought that he might personally be gay. But 's unniable that Bogie was a gay ally -- or as allied as you uld get that era.

He equented gay bars and had close iendships wh gay men throughout his life, cludg Charl Farrell, Spencer Tracey, William Ha, Noel Coward, and even a young Tman Capote (who beat him at arm wrtlg). Who knew a movie this old uld have so much gay subtext? Is he pretendg to obss over women bee he's a closeted homosexual?

Louis is often terpreted as Ambiguoly Gay, spe his hab of pullg the Srpia Ultimatum on women. Even Roger Ebert lled him "subtly homosexual" his review of the film - apparently he has never heard of bisexuals.

Jamaa el Fna, Marrakech’s ma square, is the cy’s primary gay cisg spot after dk.*. For those who heard about the se of Ray Cole—a Brish tourist arrted last year Marrakech, Moroc, on spicn of mtg “homosexual acts” and sentenced to four months’ hard time a Morocn jail prr to his early release— is perhaps difficult to image that Moroc was somethg of a gay paradise for whe men of standg the aftermath of World War II.

Somethg of the gay scene moved to Marrakech, but suffice to say, is far removed om Tangier’s heyday and very much nfed to the margs. Gay life tak place the pths of certa hammams (Turkish baths) and the back rows of cemas, if people happen to know the right spots; needls to say, cisg plays an important role. There are no gay bars, but a mix of gay and straight patrons n be found clubs that ter primarily to Wterners.

Seen this light, the se of Ray Cole n be said to be another part of the story of the wherg away of gay life Moroc, or at the very least, the end of turng of a bld eye to .

But what is more signifint about Cole’s se is that monstrat the te realy for gay men Moroc, namely, that while the laws on homosexualy are enforced nsistently, there is evintly a double standard employed their applitn.

The lerature available to potential gay travelers to Moroc—of which there is a great al sce, spe of laws and social norms there, Moroc remas a prime statn for package holiday-goers om Bra, France, and Germany—is very clear settg out what is and isn’t acceptable. Gay upl should rea om public displays of affectn and would be advised to seek out hotels and riads (a tradnal hoe wh an terr urtyard) known to be gay-iendly. The arrt of Morocns for “homosexual acts” occurs every day and go unreported.

The scen of Cole’s fay greetg him at Bra’s Gatwick Airport ntrast starkly wh how gay men are treated Morocn society: looked down upon, rejected by their fai, dismissed wh the Maghrebi Arabic slur zamel. “More than [Cole’s] own se, what happened to him shows how vulnerable gay Morocns are,”Abllah Taïa, a Morocn wrer and filmmaker who now liv exile, wrote The Guardian, “They are at the mercy of anyone. Your life n be turned upsi down at any moment.” To the qutn of what is like to be gay Moroc, then, the answer very much means one thg to a Wtern visor and que another to Morocn natnals, who are nsired by their society and their state to be of lser value.
