In that book he refers to the female "gay nurs" who had sex wh male patients. If you have read an above referenc and enuntered the scriptn of the gay ceiver as a man who ce to sce women, then the prr fn mak sense.

In 1962 an episo of 'The Andy Griffh Show' went to air tled "FLOYD THE GAY DECEIVER". There was even an episo of 'Get Smart' which featured 'Gay Deceivers'... I'd gus the 'Gay Deceiver Magic Set' had to clu a few of those!

The next reference was a Broadway play by John Patrick lled 'Gay Deceiver' wh the followg plot:. A young man has e to clare his homosexualy to his fay, only to have his rolve erod when he (and his lover) are unexpectedly drawn to his father's mayoral mpaign. They were suggtg that the Gay Deceiver was "an telligent space r".

They are homosexuals... The last year of the 1960s also broke ground when me to film, wh a movie about a d gay iendship between a htler and a grifter (Midnight Cowboy) wng the Bt Picture Osr the followg year.

THE GAY DECEIVERS

When me to paradigm-shiftg films of 1969, The Gay Deceivers do not qualify. Centered on two bonehead straight guys (played by Kev Coughl and Larry Casey) who pretend to be gay to avoid the draft, The Gay Deceivers was a precursor to shows like Bosom Buddi and Three's Company and movi like Mrs.

Doubtfire and I Now Prounounce You Chuck and the jok are broad and stupid, the puns obv (a character brgs a u basket to the tular ceivers), the women eher cluels, lechero, or ceful (but always sexy and ually half-naked), and the antigay slurs ubiquo, the movie has several fun flash of gay culture that mastream Ameri was not at all ed the ceivers rent an L. Apartment lord over by a swishy landlord named Mallm (Michael Greer), 's adorned wh homoerotic art that is still rigur Palm Sprgs and Provcetown. Gay men the film ll each other "she" whout a bat of the eye, drag is held up as an art form, and two men even dance together.

In one scene, a gay man miserat to Casey's character of Ellt how straight people believe gays are animals and how unfair is that they are routely fired om their jobs. Of urse, that potential is wasted when Ellt punch the man for g on to the gay men are universally portrayed as sex-obssed, most e off as likable (albe silly).

Greer, an openly gay ic at the time, reportedly worked wh director Bce Ksler to make the movie more sympathetic to the gay characters.
