Qutn about A Separate Peace: “Is jt me or do seem like Fny and Gene are gay?” * a separate peace gene gay *
” In A Separate Peace, Fny breaks Devon’s 100-yard etyle swimmg rerd—but the wng time was unofficial, as Gene, who served as timekeeper, was the sole there was no scriptn of any sexual enunter the novel, some rears have ntend that the book has a gay unrcurrent.
A handful of crics have objected to this perceived dynamic, cludg parents a central New York school district who, 1980, nounced A Separate Peace as a “filthy, trashy sex novel” that enuraged homosexualy. For what ’s worth, Knowl said, “If there had been homoeroticism between Pheas and Gene, I would have put the book, I assure you.
It’s not explicly gay, pecially knowg this was butch WWII era, but feels a ltle, you know … [drops wrists]. Also, the next time I’m searchg for onle ntent, I want to wre “healthy, termed, not over-exaggerated but fe and substantial buttocks” and see what I didn’t the way, when I was lookg up more about John Knowl for this piece, apparently Brker is based his Phillips Exeter buddy – and known homosexual – Gore Vidal.
IS JT ME OR DO SEEM LIKE FNY AND GENE ARE GAY?
A Jot Effort Between emhen and theo_wterwood OMG. We have worked on this for months, lookg up more song lyrics than one ever needs to see one's lifetime, buyg CD's om artists we'd never heard of, and jt generally tryg to milly map out the story of the bt gay schoolboys ever .… * a separate peace gene gay *
No, I don't thk Gene and Fny are gay. But a huge unrcurrent of homophobia ns through the story, and Leper, who is entirely out of place among this crowd of preppy boys, might be gay - not to suggt there's anythg wrong wh that. If he's not gay, he's out of place for other reasons, among which, he's a tenr-hearted loner.
God Never Said That: Two siar but very popular mors volvg the nfirmatn of Gene and Fny's relatnship as homosexual nature unt as this. The send one stated that Knowl ntradicted himself years later and said that Gene and Fny actually were gay spe of the Word of Straight he had given prevly; however, this send statement is nowhere to be found, leavg Word of Straight as the last thg he ever said regardg homosexualy the relatnship of Gene and Fny. Word of Straight: Although the Homoerotic Subtext unniably exists, John Knowl stated an terview that this was entirely untentnal and that he hadn't wrten Gene and Fny to be gay.
THREAD: IS GENE A SEPARATE PEACE GAY?
It's worth notg that this don't necsarily mean Gene and Fny were straight, so this is somewhat Knowl: Frd said any strong relatnship between two men ntas a homoerotic element. ] If there had been homoeroticism between Pheas and Gene, I would have put the book, I assure you. Is jt me or do seem like Fny and Gene are gay?
In the afterword of my edn, there's a quote by the thor, "Frd said any strong relatnship between two men ntas a homoerotic element. Did not have the feelg they were gay. Still, seems plsible that Fny and Gene are ed love and that the “tth” Gene n’t brg himself to adm is that he is a young gay man who has fallen for his bt iend.
Gene thks mak him look like a “fairy” (gay).
