IN SEARCH OF THE LOST TIME OF A GAY JEWISH NOVELIST
* gay snob *
Are we gay people? I n fd ltle evince of this on the ter, but sce gay culture is passed down through hearsay and gossip, I’m cludg this. Some archivist or queer historian may rroborate or squash this ia, one I heard om a gay elr and pass on to you — that “queer” was actually the word preferred by the first wave of queens, h om the closet, sweatg word-of-mouth disthequ that migrated through the cy.
EVERYONE HERE IS IGHTFULLY GAY
Acrdg to the ter, “queer” first beme an antigay slur durg the trials of Osr Wil.
OY VEY! MY SON IS GAY!!
So many zgers are rerd om those trials that this seems plsible: Sir John Douglas, the Marqus of Queensbury (serly), who first lled Wil a sodome and lnched the gay playwright’s epic mise, reportedly lled Wil a “snob queer” durg the proceedgs.
