My piece, “Ameri, Your Food Is So Gay, ” was momento on a uple of levels, personal and cultural. And my dad always hated bulli— tmped his ambivalence about the gay thg.

Three gay guys—Beard, Richard Olney, and Craig Claiborne—would bee archects of morn food Ameri.

It’s food that tak pleasure serly, as an end self, an assertn of polics or a human birthright, the product of culture—this is the legacy of gay food wrers who shaped morn Amerin lonels of Craig Claiborne, 1979. I first stggled wh that task the late ’80s, when I was wrg about food for the Sentel, a now-funct gay weekly San Francis.

THIS IS SO GAY

My edor, the late Eric Hellman, would always ask, “Is there a gay sensibily? ”As I was fallg love wh Lou’s Roquefort burgers, a gay activist New Mexi named Harry Hay was lnchg a movement lled the Radil Faeri— they’d go off for days-long Faerie Circl the wilrns, like all-male mi Burng Mans, only wh psilocyb-fueled circle jerks. Hay was a founr of the early gay rights group the Mattache Society.

THAT'S SO GAY

By 1970, he’d e to the ncln that gay men were spirually different om straight on—homosexuals had always been shamans and prophets, jeered, beaten ad, or barely tolerated, livg on the margs.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO “THAT’S SO GAY” AND OTHER ANTI-LGBTQ COMMENTS?

(Hay, who died 2002, was anti-assiatnist, meang he would have been horrified to see the current stggle for gay people to achieve hetero marriage. ) Gay guys were artists, form-givers, shapers of the broar culture that hated them.

I don’t totally buy Hay’s theory of queer exceptnalism, but my edor’s qutn—is there a gay sensibily? Even San Francis, gayt cy Ameri, homophobic dicks got all the prime le posns the plac I worked. In one kchen, was a nng joke that the salad statn was rerved for women and “effemat, ” meang gay boys like me.

On the si, I told myself, I’m fuckg better than all of there was a gay sensibily, you uld fd on the ld le when I was okg, where every plate I put up had a fierce edge born of imposed isolatn.

RON “DON’T SAY GAY” DESANTIS PLOTS MAJOR SHAKP AMID REPORTS HIS CRAPPY MPAIGN IS “ON THE BRK”

He grew up Marathon, Iowa, and expatriated to Paris to bee a pater, a or two after great gay expats like Jam Baldw famoly ped Ameri’s racism and pry. Though he was officially closeted until 1982, the date of his rather strange, gimlet-soaked tobgraphy, A Feast Ma for Lghter, Claiborne lived the life of the gay profsnal mid-twentieth-century Ameri: officially a “bachelor, ” sexlsly flntg his taste and discernment, the Mr.

One of the bsers workg that night was a young gay guy wh boyish Amerin looks. But as for gays breakg out Amerin rtrant kchens, exprsg a queer pot of view their okg—well, apart om a few mavericks like Elizabeth Falkner—that hasn’t really happened. Pastry—like the ld le I was relegated to back my day—remas a safe space for gays the kchen.

"THAT'S SO GAY" IS JT SO WRONG

He found another boyiend, a short Canadian who drove a purple AMC Greml and who nobody liked, not even my mom (she thought he was “too gay”). The phrase “that’s so gay” has tradnally been unrstood as homophobic.

Stonewall argu that the phrase has a harmful effect on young lbian, gay and bisexual people’s tn and well-beg. Yet the ial fdgs om my terviews wh 40 gay youth om four universi suggts a more plex picture, wh no clear agreement on what the phrase means or s effects.

Consir Joe, a 19-year-old gay stunt at an ele universy. He said: “I thk breaks down barriers between the straight and gay muny… I e a lot. ” Siarly, Neil, gay and aged 18, said: “I don’t fd rogatory any way, probably bee I say as well.

How are we to unrstand a phrase that olr people fd homophobic, but many younger people do not fd offensive and even e themselv? My tert the phrase “that’s so gay” veloped when I rearched straight male stunts at sixth form lleg.
