BENJAM BRTEN: THE LOVE AND DEATH OF A GAY GENI

In fact, sounds fatly homophobic, as though we still n't have a natnal treasure who was gay, particularly one whose gayns was central to his work. Brten's homosexualy was, for virtually all his life, crimal; rather than warn him off, this seems to have permted him to anatomize aspects of his persona like alienatn, celty, and sexual longg and fatuatn, properti that then remaed latent and unfulfilled, operas all the more psychologilly pellg for and mic all the more brilliant.

The nflict between his homosexualy and the hostile society he found himself was the source of his dramatic mic, more patently so than is the se of, say, Tchaikovsky. Forster, who were also gay.
