• GAY HOLLYWOOD THE STUD DAYS. DECEMBER 16, 2015 ADM UNTEGORIZED 2  I READ RECENTLY THAT ‘GAY-GOSSIP IS THE NEWT AND MOST CLEVER FORM OF HOMOPHOBIA’. NICE TRY, BUT I’M NOT BUYG .  I AM NEHER HOMOSEXUAL NOR HOMOPHOBIC, BUT I AM TERTED SUBTERFUGE AND EXPOSG OLD-TIME MOVIE STUDS THAT MA AN ART FORM OUT OF GULLG THE PUBLIC. FOR FIFTY OR SO YEARS THEIR PUBLICY MACH CHURNED OUT PHONY, SANIZED IMAG OF THEIR STARS AND THEIR LIFTYL, AND THE PUBLIC SWALLOWED EVERY WORD OF THEM. TODAY, WE KNOW BETTER. HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOANDS, OF BGRAPHI HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED OVER THE LAST FORTY OR SO YEARS, THAT DISPUTE THE FANTASY CREATED BY STUD MOGULS WHOSE ONLY AIM WAS TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND STILL MORE MONEY. THE DAYS WE N READ ACUNTS OF LIFE AMONG THE STARS BY FORMER EMPLOYE OF THE STUDS, EVEN THEIR CHILDREN, ACUNTS THAT ARE EE OF THE THREAT OF DISMISSAL OR LIGATN NOW THAT THE ALL-POWERFUL STUD BOSS ARE GONE. NOT ALL OF THE ACUNTS N BE TSTED, OF URSE, BUT THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO ENABLE TO SEEK (AND FD) VERIFITN WHERE NEED. SO, FOR THE RERD, I HAVE NO TERT WHAT NSENTG ADULTS DO BEHD CLOSED DOORS. IT IS THEIR BS AND NO-ONE ELSE’S. BUT I DO HAVE AN TERT HISTORY, GENUE HISTORY THAT IS, NOT SOME ‘SMOKE AND MIRRORS’ EXERCISE DREAMT UP BY SOME CIGAR-CHOMPG STUD EXECUTIVE WH TOO MUCH POWER AND TOO FEW MORALS.HOMOSEXUALY AND BISEXUALY WERE AGAST THE LAW BACK THE DAYS WHEN THE STUDS RAN HOLLYWOOD (APPROXIMATELY 1905 – 1958). THE MOVIE LONY WAS LERALLY RIDDLED WH PEOPLE WHOSE SEXUAL PERSUASN WAS ANYTHG OTHER THAN HETEROSEXUAL. THE STUD BOSS KNEW WHO WAS WHAT, OF URSE, AND THEY KEPT A CLOSE WATCH ON THE TABLOIDS, MAGAZ AND TRA PAPERS TO MAKE SURE THE SEXUALY OF THEIR MEAL-TICKETS REMAED, AT LEAST PUBLICLY, HETEROSEXUAL AND NOTHG BUT HETEROSEXUAL. WHAT STARTED OUT AS A SAFEGUARD QUICKLY EVOLVED TO A FULL-TIME POLICY SIGNED TO HOODWK THE PAYG PUBLIC TO BELIEVG WHATEVER THE STUDS WANTED THEM TO BELIEVE.STRANGE AS MIGHT SEEM, MOST FANS TEND NOT TO BELIEVE STORI THAT THEIR IDOLS ARE GAY. PROBABLY BEE THEY SIMPLY DON’T WANT TO. ANY REPORT OF SLEAZY HETEROSEXUAL SHENANIGANS IS UALLY ACCEPTED WHOUT QUTN, BUT MENTN OF A STAR BEG GAY OR BISEXUAL IS GENERALLY MET WH ACCATNS OF ‘MUCK-RAKG’ AND/OR PEDDLG SENSATNALISM. WHY IS THAT? NAYSAYERS THROW UP THE UAL ARGUMENTS – ‘BUT HE’S MARRIED’ OR ‘THEY HAVE KIDS’. BUT THE FACT IS THAT HOLLYWOOD IS (AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN) CHOCK FULL OF MALE AND FEMALE STARS PLAYG THE HETEROSEXUAL GAME FOR ALL THEY ARE WORTH. AND, OF URSE, HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE STUDS’ TERTS TO HAVE ALL THEIR MATEE IDOLS AS ‘STRAIGHT’ AS ARROWS, HENCE LAVENR MARRIAG EVERYWHERE, ‘BEARDS’ WORKG FULL TIME, AND ‘VER-UPS’ ORCHTRATED BY THE STUD ‘FIXERS’. THE FACT THAT THE ‘BIGGI’ HAVE ALWAYS ED ‘FIXERS’ IS ILLUMATG SELF.LAVENR MARRIAG WERE ARRANGED BY STUDS TO FLECT TABLOIDS OM LVG TO THE SEXUAL PERSUASN OF STARS THEY SPECTED OF BEG HOMOSEXUAL. TY AND SWEET JA GAYNOR LIVED HER LIFE LAVENR MARRIAG, THE SEND OF WHICH WAS FOR TWENTY YEARS TO GAY SIGNER ADRIAN, AND PRODUCED A CHILD. LILYAN TASHMAN WAS A LAVENR ARRANGEMENT WH GAY ACTOR EDMUND LOWE WHILE DULGG A FOUR-YEAR AFFAIR WH GARBO. CLTTE COLBERT WAS ANOTHER OF HER LBIAN LOVERS. OTHER STARS, SUCH AS JEAN ARTHUR, HAD THEIR LBIAN LIAISONS OUT ON THE AST, FAR OM HOLLYWOOD AND THE GOSSIP LUMNISTS.JA GAYNOR AND ADRIAN – A LAVENR MARRIAGEJEAN ARTHURCARY GRANT WOULD MARRY FIVE TIM ATTEMPTS TO MASK HIS HOMOSEXUALY AND HIS LIFELONG LOVE AFFAIR WH RANDOLPH STT (SEE PICTURE AT TOP). GAY DIRECTOR GEE COR WOULD HOLD THE BIGGT GAY AND LBIAN PARTI HIS HOME, HIS HOMOSEXUALY AN OPEN SECRET THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE MUNY. MEN OFTEN WORE PURPLE NECKTI AS A KD OF FOR ATTRACTG OTHER GAY MEN AT CLUBS AND PARTI. LBIAN FANS OFTEN WROTE THEIR LETTERS ON LAVENR OR MVE PAPER. I LOVE THE STORY TOLD ABOUT COR WHEN HE WAS NONTED ABOUT HIS HOMOSEXUALY BY THE HEAD OF MGM, LOUIS B MAYER, A DYED THE WOOL HOMOPHOBIC IF THERE EVER WAS ONE. ‘ER…GEE, ARE YOU REALLY A…HOM…HOMOSEXUAL? MAYER ASKED. COR LOOKED HIM STRAIGHT THE EYE AND GAVE HIM A ONE-WORD ANSWER. ‘DEDITED!’ MAYER NEVER BROUGHT THE SUBJECT UP WH HIM AGA.DIRECTOR GEE CORAND THERE WERE MANY GAY TABLISHMENTS THROUGHOUT HOLLYWOOD, PECIALLY THE THIRTI AND FORTI. THE VERY FIRST WAS JIMMY’S BACK YARD, WHICH OPENED 1929. PROHIBN WAS FULL SWG THEN, BUT BOOTLEGGERS AND E ALERS KEPT PATRONS WELL SUPPLIED NEVERTHELS. A SPEAKEASY NAMED BBB’S CELLAR WAS EXTREMELY POPULAR WHEN OPENED DOWN THE ROAD OM JIMMY’S, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE NO SIGNS DITG WAS A RENZVO FOR GAY PATRONS. TRADNALLY, PATRONS WERE GIVEN A HAMMER AS THEY ARRIVED, WHICH THEY WOULD BANG ON THE TABLE WHENEVER SOMEONE ENTERED THE PREMIS. REGULARS CLUD TALLULAH BANKHEAD, JOAN CRAWFORD, CONSTANCE BENT, NORMA TALMADGE, LILYAN TASHMAN, RAMON NOVARRO, CARY GRANT AND HOWARD HUGH, JT TO NAME A FEW. IT WAS MARLENE DIETRICH’S FAVOURE CLUB.TALLULAH BANKHEADCONSTANCE BENTLILYAN TASHMANTHE POLICE TEND TO CRACK DOWN ON WHAT THEY REFERRED TO AS THE ‘PANSY CLUBS’, THE ON THAT OFFERED FLOORSHOWS WHICH ‘WOMEN MASQUERAD AS MEN, AND MEN AS WOMEN’. THE HOLLYWOOD VICE SQUAD REGULARLY POUNCED ON THE TABLISHMENTS. FEMALE IMPERSONATORS AT JIMMY’S BACK YARD WERE DRAGGED OFF TO JAIL AFTER ONE RAID AND GIVEN 6 MONTH’S IMPRISONMENT! ONE NIGHT, SO THE STORY GO, THE BISEXUAL ACTRS LILI DAMA HAD SEX WH A WAER FULL VIEW OF TWENTY OR SO SPECTATORS. LTLE WONR HER FORMER LOVER HUMPHREY BOGART NICKNAMED HER ‘TIGER LIL’. HER LOVERS, MALE AND FEMALE, NUMBERED THE HUNDREDS. FANS HAD NO IA SHE SWUNG BOTH WAYS. HER HBAND ERROL FLYNN KNEW, OF URSE, NOT THAT OVERLY BOTHERED HIM. LILI DAMA AND HER HBAND ERROL FLYNNCAFé GALA WAS OPENED 1939 ON SUNSET BOULEVARD. IT NEVER ADVERTISED SELF AS A GAY BAR, NOR WAS EXCLIVELY GAY, BUT WAS SENTIALLY SO, NOHELS. THE BAR AREA TERED TO GAY MEN, BUT THERE WERE STRICT L, PECIALLY REGARDG NTACT BETWEEN PATRONS. NOTHG BEYOND A HANDSHAKE WAS TOLERATED ON THE PREMIS. OPENED BY THE BARONS CATHERE D’ERLANGER, FEATURED GAY SGER JOHNNY WALSH, AND WAS THE FAVOURE GAY BAR OF JUDY GARLAND. COLE PORTER ULD BE OBSERVED THERE, AS WELL AS GRETA GARBO ON THE RARE OCSNS SHE VENTURED OUT WH HER NUTRNIST RT GAYLORD HSER. IT WAS ONE PLACE WHERE GAY AND LBIAN STARS AND OTHER NOTABL ULD DROP WHOUT NNG THE RISK OF BEG RAID.

THE CANYON CLUB WAS A GAY AND LBIAN SPOT THROUGHOUT THE 40S AND 50S, SUATED THE TOPANGA CANYON AREA. IT HAD AN EARLY WARNG SYSTEM WHICH LIGHTS WOULD FLASH WHEN THE VICE SQUAD WAS SPIED APPROACHG. THIS WAS THE SIGNAL FOR PATRONS TO SWCH DANCE PARTNERS TO SOMEONE OF THE OPPOSE SEX.BEVERLY SHAW OF THE FLAMGOSMTY’S, THE GAY INN AND THE GAYWAY CAFé WERE THREE GAY VENU WELL KNOWN TO THE ARY. WHEREVER THEY SPECTED GAY CROWDS TO NGREGATE, THE ARMY WOULD POST SIGNS AT THOSE PLAC, ‘OUT OF BOUNDS TO ARY PERSONNEL’. NOT ALL GAY MEETG PLAC WERE CLUBS, OF URSE. PERSHG SQUARE WAS A PARK DOWNTOWN LOS ANGEL. A TRAVEL SE LLED ‘DISVER LOS ANGEL’ NAMED PERSHG SQUARE AS ONE OF ‘TEN GAY LANDMARKS’ WORTH VISG. DURG WW2 THE ARMY WOULD PUT UP RMATN AREAS THE SQUARE FOR SOLDIERS, EVEN THOUGH WAS A POPULAR NGREGATG AREA FOR GAYS. AND THE NOTOR BILTMORE HOTEL WAS JT ACROSS THE STREET.PERSHG SQUARE, L.A.

A JOT LLED M & M WAS A LBIAN BAR THAT TERED PRIMARILY FOR LATAS. BROTHERS WAS A GAY BAR FOR AIN-AMERINS. IN THE 50S AND 60S THERE EXISTED THE CHEROKEE CLUB, HOE OF IVY, LAFAYETTE, CHEE-CHEE’S, OPEN DOOR, THE PARTY PAD AND THE CAROEL VENICE. THERE WERE SR MORE. UNR-AGE GAYS WERE TERED FOR AS WELL. THOSE WHO LACKED THE NECSARY ID TO GET TO BARS ULD ADJOURN TO PLAC SUCH AS COFFEE DAN’S, THE GOLD CUP AND MARL INN ON HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, ALL OF WHICH TERED EXCLIVELY FOR HOMOSEXUALS. IN THE FIFTI MONTGOMERY CLIFT WAS OFTEN SEEN AT COFFEE DAN’S. BY THE 60S TRANSVT HAD TAKEN OVER THE TABLISHMENT. THERE WERE SEVERAL COFFEE DAN’S LOS ANGEL. THE GAY ONE WAS ON HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.MONTGOMERY CLIFTIT WAS ALLA NAZIMOVA WHO ED THE PHEMISM ‘THE SEWG CIRCLE’ FOR HOLLYWOOD’S LBIAN ATERNY. TALLULAH BANKHEAD MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN VOLVED WH THE GROUP, BUT SHE HAD MANY FEMALE LOVERS. HATTIE MCDANIEL AND PATSY KELLY WERE TWO OF THEM. HATTIE WON AN OSR PLAYG MAMMY GONE WH THE WD 1939. SGER BILLIE HOLIDAY WAS ANOTHER OF TALLULAH’S NQUTS. THE CIRCLE WOULD MEET REGULARLY, SOMETIM AT THE HOME OF DELOR DEL R, AND NSISTED OF LBIANS, BISEXUALS AND THE OCSNAL ‘EXPERIMENTER’. THEY WOULD MEET AT ONE ANOTHER’S HOM FOR LUNCH, A CHAT AND WHATEVER ELSE EVENTUATED. THE AGENDA WAS FLEXIBLE.  HATTIE MCDANIELMEMBERS ME AND WENT, BUT STARS SUCH AS JOAN CRAWFORD, GARBO, BARBARA STANWYCK, MYRNA LOY, AGN MOOREHEAD, DANCER ISADORA DUNN, WRER MERCES ASTA AND DIETRICH WERE ALL SAID TO BE PART OF THE SAPPHIC SEWG CIRCLE. OTHERS CLUD KATE HEPBURN, KAY FRANCIS, JUDH ANRSON, EVELYN BRENT AND MARJORIE MA (MA KETTLE). GARBO AND DIETRICH ALWAYS MATAED THEY NEVER KNEW EACH OTHER, BUT SIRS DISAGREE, PECIALLY LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT BOTH WOMEN APPEARED A MOVIE BERL 1925 LLED THE JOYLS STREET.

NICE TRY, BUT I’M NOT BUYG .  I AM NEHER HOMOSEXUAL NOR HOMOPHOBIC, BUT I AM TERTED SUBTERFUGE AND EXPOSG OLD-TIME MOVIE STUDS THAT MA AN ART FORM OUT OF GULLG THE PUBLIC.

NOT ALL OF THE ACUNTS N BE TSTED, OF URSE, BUT THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO ENABLE TO SEEK (AND FD) VERIFITN WHERE NEED. SO, FOR THE RERD, I HAVE NO TERT WHAT NSENTG ADULTS DO BEHD CLOSED DOORS.
