I STOOD ONT OF THE DRSG ROOM MIRROR AT CHARLOTTE RSE, SIZG UP THE PK AND GREY FABRIC SWISHG AROUND MY TORSO. THIS IS , I THOUGHT. LIBERATN. PRI. ACCEPTANCE. FALLY, I ULD PUT MY QUEERNS ON DISPLAY FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. THIS WAS THE BEGNG OF A NEW ERA WHICH EVERYONE ULD TAKE ONE LOOK AT ME AND KNOW THAT I’M TERTED GIRLS. I ULD MEET OTHER QUEER WOMEN AND TALK ABOUT QUEER THGS AND SHOP AT QUEER PLAC. RIGHT?WELL NO, NOT REALLY. MY LIFE HASN’T CHANGED DRASTILLY SCE THAT FATEFUL DAY TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVEN’T CUT MY HAIR SHORT. THERE ARE NO EDGY PIERCGS ANYWHERE ON MY BODY, NOT EVEN ON MY EARS. MY FOOTWEAR OF CHOICE IS FLATS, NOT BLACK BAT BOOTS. I GUS I’M NOT VERY GOOD AT BEG A LBIAN. AND THERE LI THE PROBLEM.EVEN THOUGH I KNOW ’S JT A STEREOTYPE, I N’T SHAKE THE ASSOCIATN BETWEEN WEARG FLANNEL AND GAYNS. IT’S FELY A SOCIAL NSTCT (THERE’S NOTHG HERENTLY GAY ABOUT FLANNEL), BUT I FEEL JT A TAD B GAYER . TO ME, WEARG FLANNEL IS NOT JT ANOTHER ARTICLE OF CLOTHG. IT’S ABOUT BREAKG SOCIETAL NORMS ABOUT SEXUALY AND APPEARANCE, BUT BREAKG THEM A VERY SPECIFIC, VERY LBIAN WAY. BY WEARG FLANNEL, I EMBRACE A ONE-DIMENSNAL SEXUALY TO FY AN EQUALLY ONE-DIMENSNAL HETERONORMATIVE WORLD.WHEN I TERNALIZED THE IA THAT WEARG FLANNEL EQUALS LBIAN AND NOT WEARG FLANNEL EQUALS STRAIGHT, I SUBNSCLY CID THAT THOSE WERE MY ONLY TWO OPTNS: LBIAN OR STRAIGHT. BUT MY INTY IS MORE PLITED THAN THAT, AND I’M QUTNG WHETHER I F EHER OF THOSE TEGORI.SO, WHAT’S LED ME TO RE-EVALUATE MY RELATNSHIP WH FLANNEL? WELL, I LIKE THIS BOY. BUT, I’M WORRIED HE THKS I’M GAY. OBVLY, THE REASONABLE SOLUTN TO THIS IS TO EXPLA TO HIM THAT I’M NOT. AND TO MAYBE FLIRT A LTLE.BUT, I’LL ADM . I STOPPED WEARG FLANNEL AS SOON AS I REALIZED I LIKED HIM. IT’S BEEN WEEKS, AND THEY’RE ALL HANGG UP MY CLOSET, UNTOUCHED. I N’T RENCILE MY FEELGS TOWARD HIM WH MY PERCEPTN OF FLANNEL. THE SYMBOL I ONCE EMBRACED NOW FEELS AWKWARD AND ILL-FTG. AM I ACTUALLY A LBIAN? AND IF I AM, IS THIS THE KD OF LBIAN I WANT TO BE? IS THIS HOW I WANT TO PRENT MYSELF TO THE WORLD? IS THIS ME?ELEVATG THE IMPORTANCE OF LBIAN STEREOTYP N MIMIZE THE EXPERIENC OF QUEER WOMEN BY PLACG THEM A BOX. WE SHOULD CELEBRATE ALL THE WAYS TO BE QUEER.

There’s a sense when speakg wh Lockwood that he draws on stori about homophobic snip agast him to ga sympathy before he starts swgg — this time, this particular nversatn, at Ben’s Iran vote. Yet queerns exerts a set of disfortg thematic and semantic prsur on the story the novel wants to tell about the place of the hipster unterculture postwar Ameri In this rpect, Darkns exemplifi Eve Sedgwick's celebrated argument that the supposedly margal issue of homosexual/heterosexual fn fact stctur, and ed actur, virtually all morn Wtern cultural exprsn. 1 But while Sedgwick tak the closet to be the primary rhetoril maniftatn of the cris of meang cltered around sexual inty, Darkns prompts to nsir gayns relatn to another metaphor, the unrground.

Darkns mak no explic reference to gay life as an unrground, but blatantly featur the then-new trope of the cultural unrground, this blatancy existg oddly wh diffens: the novel ploys the term unrground sistently and unsubtly, but also uncertaly and even quarrelsomely.

HOW A GAY HIPSTER BEME A RIGHT-WG SMEARMEISTER

I don't assume that the term straightforwardly not subversn but also mata that scty of the term's and their ramifitns help to track the changg place of gayns postwar Amerin cultural polics. Like the hipster, the midcentury homosexual may also be thought of as posssg a kd of secret knowledge, if only about his own sexualy; and, as we'll see, he too was equently acced of actg, if not actually beg, "superr.

" But gay inty was only ocsnally therefore unrstood as thentic; stead, gayns and the gay subculture were generally unrstood as flagrantly thentic, an unrstandg routed through the stereotype of gay effemacy. Willard Motley's novel of the Chigo unrworld Knock on Any Door (1947), for stance, appli a favore midcentury ephet for thenticy, "phoney, " to s gay male characters, ditg their sufficient masculy.

GAY HIPSTER QUOT & SAYGS

"23 Yet the followg discsn of Darkns and other reprentatns of bohemia, I want to turn om this faiar ncern wh the obscure or only partially visible aspect of the gay unrground to nsir the difference to culture that visible homosexualy mak. Darkns do not explicly clu gay life s pac unrstandg of the unrground, but like most other pictns of the bohemian world of the postwar perd, treats gay people as an lible feature of that world, and, so dog, suggts the shapg force of the gay llectivy on nomally heterosexual dividuals and a nomally heteronormative cultural settg. While many queer crics followg Sedgwick have strsed the universalizg aspect of queerns and disunted the importance of morized subcultural forms, Darkns's rendn of a bohemian unrground that is part-gay enabl to see how morizatn and universalism work dialectilly.

I ULD MEET OTHER QUEER WOMEN AND TALK ABOUT QUEER THGS AND SHOP AT QUEER PLAC. RIGHT?WELL NO, NOT REALLY. MY LIFE HASN’T CHANGED DRASTILLY SCE THAT FATEFUL DAY TWO YEARS AGO.

IT’S FELY A SOCIAL NSTCT (THERE’S NOTHG HERENTLY GAY ABOUT FLANNEL), BUT I FEEL JT A TAD B GAYER . TO ME, WEARG FLANNEL IS NOT JT ANOTHER ARTICLE OF CLOTHG. IT’S ABOUT BREAKG SOCIETAL NORMS ABOUT SEXUALY AND APPEARANCE, BUT BREAKG THEM A VERY SPECIFIC, VERY LBIAN WAY. BY WEARG FLANNEL, I EMBRACE A ONE-DIMENSNAL SEXUALY TO FY AN EQUALLY ONE-DIMENSNAL HETERONORMATIVE WORLD.WHEN I TERNALIZED THE IA THAT WEARG FLANNEL EQUALS LBIAN AND NOT WEARG FLANNEL EQUALS STRAIGHT, I SUBNSCLY CID THAT THOSE WERE MY ONLY TWO OPTNS: LBIAN OR STRAIGHT.

GAY HIPSTER

"44 If we put this novel's lip-smackgly homophobic scriptn alongsi the que sympathetic portrayal of the possibly homosexual Harry  Darkns, we beg to see that what troubl Brossard both the novels is not homosexual feelg per se but s unrground subcultural exprsns — the inti, behavrs, and argot that enable one to "spot [them] a e away. "47 As Cathare Stimpson put an important 1983 say, Beat thors like Gsberg, Kerouac, and Burroughs "seem[ed] to be repudiatg the morn notn of homosexualy as an inty and brgg back the olr scriptn of as an event. "49 And a 1961 ethnography of San Francis's Beats siarly not that homosexual experience among men is mon but "overt exclive homosexualy is rare: certaly social homosexualy — 'gay bars, ' 'gay parti' — is not part of this scene.

Even as the Beats helped pave the way for gay liberatnist ias, they took pas to distguish their own same-sex forays om the gay subculture, fg those forays as not "really" homosexualy, or at least as a different, ls stigmatic homosexualy. In a study of male same-sex sexualy midcentury New York, Barry Reay not that John Clellon Holm's Go is "dismissive" of effemate homosexuals, "who seem to have no real role this celebratn of life lived on the edge.

"54 Yet Holm distguish between a gang of "graceful, shoulr swgg" homosexuals enuntered at a bar "mcg, chirpg and tryg to b up agast everyone" and Stofsky, the sympathetilly prented Gsberg analogue, who challeng "his father's bigoted shock at his homosexualy.

The threateng e-ons and tsns of subcultural homosexuals renr their apartns prer, potentially unrmg the distctns between them and hipsters wh same-sexual terts, and between them and straight hipsters. In orr to pursue my particular tert the effects of the prence of gay men on other men  Darkns, I fd eful at this pot the argument of the soclogist of sexualy Henng Bech about "absent homosexualy, " which he boldly f as "the typil form of sexualy among non-homosexual men morn societi.

" Elaborated ntrast to psychoanalytic notns of a latent, reprsed, or sublimated homosexual drive, absent homosexualy is fed by Bech as "a historilly specifiable formatn of a certa — not always sexual, but sexualizable — tert, herent masculy, what men n do wh one another. " This "cramp of actuatn and nial" lends homosexualy a ghostly aspect the social and subjective realms, even though 's paradoxilly brought to beg by the clear prence of groupgs of homosexually-intified men: "'Absent homosexualy'... It also helps expla the amalgam of sire and disgt evint  The Bold Sabotrs' gay bar scene and Broyard's pictn of the San Remo — but the character of Harry offers a more elaborated and th a more suggtive versn of the dynamic that Bech scrib.

Harry's feelg that he might be homosexual is "suatnal, " the sense elaborated by Bech; is not "an emergency measure, " as the ual unrstandg of suatnal homosexualy, but rather produced an dividual, who has not necsarily had any prr "'homosexual' wish, " by his experience of a given suatn. I like women" (220), which might be taken to dite simply the paranoia of homosexual panic, needs to be put alongsi the moments of possible self-nial (his jog the risn of the gay men at the bar, his reactn to the ia of homosexualy as "obnox") — though self-nial is not really the term I want here, as suggts an already formed inty and a firm sire. )68 In Darkns Harry, I suggt, reprents an timatn of thentic gay inty, though this is somethg that the culture at large nnot adm and that the novel nnot fully image — hence the failure of Harry's sexual inty to e to foc.
