THE PHILOSOPHIL FASCISTS OF THE GAY ALT-RIGHT

Jack Donovan — a 42-year-old skhead in and right-wg extremist — lived the gay life once. It was the 1990s, after he left his parents’ blue-llar home ral Pennsylvania to study fe art New York, when he danced go-go gay clubs, hung out wh drag queens, and marched for gay pri. But then he dropped out, learned how to e tools and work as a manual laborer, studied MMA, and cid he wasn’t gay — jt “an unrepentant masculist.

“I am not gay bee the word gay nnot so much more than same-sex sire, ” Donovan announced, unr a psdonym, on the first page of 2006’s Androphilia: A Manifto: Rejectg the Gay Inty, Reclaimg Masculy (echog, probably untentnally, the speech Tony Khner wrote for Roy Cohn Angels Ameri). “The word gay scrib a whole cultural and polil movement that promot anti-male femism, victim mentaly, and leftist polics. Gay men are remarkably proment — if not exactly abundant — the alt-right universe.

”) Or artist turned reporter Lucian Wtrich, who joed the Whe Hoe prs rps when Tmp-cheerg blog Gateway Pund (eded by a gay man) received s first crential. “Apart om Cale Paglia, of urse, I n’t thk of any tertg lbians, ” gay whe natnalist Jam O’Meara told me an terview.

HOW THE ALT-RIGHT IS USG SEX AND CAMP TO ATTRACT GAY MEN TO FASCISM

” To say nothg of trans issu, which most gay alt-righters rejected (“I know three transgenr people our movement, ” Counter-Currents edor Greg Johnson offered, before argug agast the signatn. ) Donovan se himself as a member of the earlit generatn of gay men who uld be ee to dch the “victim mentaly” of queer polics. In Androphilia, he prais activists who fought to crimalize gay sex and to bat stutnal difference to AIDS “It would be remiss not to cred the Gay Rights Movement for fightg agast this sort of opprsn, tolerance, and tentnal negligence, ” he wr, but “havg achieved relative tolerance for same-sex-oriented people mastream culture, and havg brought an end to police harassment and wispread discrimatn, the Gay Rights Movement has turned to npickg.

“The rt of the Wolv are not homos, and we don’t nsir ourselv a whe-natnalist or alt-right group, ” Donovan clarifi by email. And he should be brave, which is why Donovan gets so irrated when he’s acced of homophobia.

That’s why they ll men phobic nstantly — they’re transphobic, they’re homophobic, they’re aaid of women.

WHE NATNALIST GROUPS ARE SPLTG OVER GAY INCLN

He still don’t like the word gay but ocsnally for nversatnal expediency and punch l about “beg gay” wh his boyiend about their new pet dog.

Not really, says historian Jim Downs, thor of Stand by Me: The Fotten History of Gay Liberatn. As recently as 2004, Republins bragged about opposg gay rights to rally the base, while supporters like John Kerry avoid the topic. Today, longstandg opponents of gay rights are the on who avoid the qutn — or set asi long-held beliefs the name of pragmatism.

“I thk gays n be particularly eful to the alt-right, ” Alternative Right edor Col Lidll told me.

“Our movement is a revolutnary and taboo-btg movement, and gays have the right ‘psychologil equipment’ for that. And, bee of their lack of immediate fay, gays often have a stronger feelg for their ‘wir fay.
