BT GAY ROMANCE MAFIA/YAKUZA/ORGANIZED CRIME

But there was a time Amerin history when there was a real fear that a gay mafia—known llectively as “homterns”—existed, wieldg ntrol across Hollywood and throughout the arts and entertament dtri.

In his new book Homtern: How Gay Culture Liberated the Morn World, English amic Gregory Woods chronicl the rise of the “homtern, ” explorg how the longstandg fear of homosexual men spurred a century-long paranoia about an alleged gay mafia ntrollg areas of ernment, the arts and amia. In the mid-19th century the pair rrpond about the threat of “perasts”—an antiquated term referrg to men who had sex wh younger men, sce “homosexual” did not yet exist as a label—to their goal of tablishg non-sexual raship between other men. Woods wr that was this obssn to tegorize so-lled “unsaid” male sexual impuls and behavrs that actually enuraged the fear of the homosexual figure larger society.

” This sire to study and fe sexual behavr further phed rearchers to “un-closet” the homosexual, all an effort to mystify a sexual inty that had long been ostracized and stigmatized but never really pned down through scientific quiry.

Woods says was most likely vented as a word play, referrg to a disanized and rmal work of gay men who aternized the 1930s, cludg the lik of poet W.

Des later, “homtern” entered Cold War disurse, beg reappropriated by nspiracy theorists that exploed s munist associatn and claimed referred to a longstandg “ternatnal homosexual nspiracy” across the untry, whose one goal was to perate posns the Amerin ernment and urp tradnal Amerin valu of fay and heterosexualy. Wh Amerins fearful of the tonatn of an atomic bomb and a enzy about polics beg overtaken by munist fectors, the elive figure of the homosexual—known but never seen public; closeted but apparently everywhere—was ripe to explo to spire fear. Woods says that the anxieti around homosexuals Cold War Ameri take some of their orig the social “cleansg” mpaigns enacted Nazi Germany and Soviet Rsia, mpaigns lnched to eradite homosexual men (and other “unwanted” dividuals) om society.

” The report claimed the “filtratn” of homosexuals to Amerin polil life meant that homosexuals would “envabl[y] … attempt to place other homosexuals Government jobs. The backlash agast homosexuals was only pound by the growg visibily of gay men public life, pecially the arts and entertament dtri, which only pound the ia of an unrground nspiracy of a “gay mafia.

” In 1966, one New York Tim cric mentned the wispread perceptn that bee the men were homosexuals their plays “prent[ed] a badly distorted picture of Amerin women, marriage and society. Siar claims were ma about the number of “gay” men (closeted but monly known to be gay) Hollywood, cludg Gee Cor, Montgomery Clift, Cary Grant, and Rock Hudson.

Although the men were not “out, ” mors of their sexualy circulated wily Hollywood and galvanized an image of Hollywood beg overn by gay men, many who allegedly wield power and tonomy.

Unlike lbians, gay men were seen as the more subversive threat bee they had most public profil as well as more likely to occupy posns of power the entertament dtri. But some two s later, wh the groundswell mpaigns for eedoms and visibily that eventually beme the gay liberatn movement, the homtern lost all currency Amerin life.

All the same, the homtern’s awakeng of fear public life 1950s Ameri monstrat an important narrative, remdg there was a time when the ia of a “gay mafia” lg Hollywood was a legimate ncern.

LERATURA GAY: 10 LIBROS QUE NO TE PUES PERR

More than half of the leadg power brokers Hollywood are Jewish, and about a third of the powerful are homosexual, cludg David Geffen, Ray Stark, Calv Kle, Aaron Spellg, Steve Tisch, Barry Diller and agent Sandy Gall. From Taki's lumn the 3/7/00 I’m not at all surprised to read that Hollywood is domated by a Velvet Mafia of rich homosexuals who mand sexual favors return for work the movi.

(Geffen, as mor has , is supposed to have been thrilled that the movie a homophobe father beats up his son when he spects him to have had a gay affair wh Kev Spacey’s character, and even more thrilled when is later revealed that the homophobe was actually a reprsed gay. Here is one of Bill Clton’s close supporters, one who had a ee n of the Lln bedroom, and was, I believe, once even lled an adviser to the Draft Dodger, phg a gay agenda of promotg stars and directors who make movi and rerds sympathetic to the gay liftyle. As Pl Craig Roberts (the bt lumnist by far) poted out the John Rocker se, "Bud Selig thks that kids wh purple hair, repeat felons, welfare moms and homosexuals wh AIDS are ‘ethnici.

ADAM CAROLLA: THE GAY MAFIA IS REAL

Recently, a gay and lbian pri day was held at Walt Disney World and 12, 000 showed up, walkg down the streets of the Magic Kgdom "holdg hands, embracg, and kissg. " And yet another example of synchronicy, Spy has a story on Hollywood's 'Gay Mafia, ' a group that packs a tremendo punch the movie dtry's boardrooms. Everyone knows Hollywood is a ''boy's club, '' meang straight men n , but even if the straight boys don't accept someone, there are plenty of gays and lbians to bond wh, and there has even arisen, the media, a phrase, ''the gay Mafia.

BEWARE THE GAY MAFIA

AT THE start of the film Amerin Bety, Kev Spacey's character, Lter Burnham, says: 'In a year, I will be ad' - and by the movie's end, he is, killed by his reprsed homosexual next- door neighbour. Everyone the film is explosively dysfunctnal, except for the Burnhams' other set of neighbours, an affluent gay uple who float through the mayhem wh disarmg sereny.

Its sweep of the Amy Awards' top tegori thrilled Hollywood's gay muny, who have been tryg to prove for a long time that heterosexualy is a sad form of sexual dysfunctn. This held that heterosexualy was a curse to be nigrated and mocked wherever possible, and that gays uld never w the power they craved society whout unrmg heterosexuals whenever possible.

HOW THE MOB HELPED ESTABLISH NYC’S GAY BAR SCENE

On the posive ont, the radil gays argued that homosexuals should be entled to get married the same way as heterosexual upl, and that schools should teach about gay sex as if were no more normal or abnormal than male-female terurse. Amics began wrg papers argug for gay parentg, g statistics to suggt that children of gay upl had no more emotnal problems that the average child of a 'straight' fay. On the negative end, gays began unterg unsirable imag of homosexualy - such as the spread of Aids - wh a bleak picture of what they risively lled 'straight sex'.

The pot of this exercise was to monise normal heterosexual behavur, and to make the ordary ruals of attractn and relatnships seem aberrant, so that gays uld advance their own e by claimg 'straights' led liv that were much worse than theirs. Ball says he did not even know he was homosexual until he went to universy, but claims to have suffered enough persecutn at the hands of heterosexualy to believe is herently evil. Last year, he wrote and produced a TV seri lled Oh, Grow Up, which featured two straight men sharg a hoe wh a gay man, who, predictably, has much the better life.

The two men got to know each other 1995 when Cohen ved Jks to be on the steerg mtee of Out There, an activist group of gay entertament executiv that he had -found. Sourc say that one of Out There's key objectiv is to promote the gay liftyle wh films and members talk openly among themselv about how bt to mock heterosexualy. As, The Operator, a new bgraphy of Geffen mak clear, Geffen is a predatory homosexual who has voted nsirable energy to projects that target heterosexualy.

Sourc say Geffen has equently changed scripts if they seem to be too sympathetic towards heterosexual love or if they show any ht of antipathy towards gays.

In 20 years of filmmakg, Geffen has bee famo for makg or breakg reers based on whether the people volved are gay and willg to be part of his extremely active sex life.
