 glbtq >> literature >> George, Stefan
Stefan Anton George, one of the foremost German poets of the turn of the twentieth century and considered a prophet of that period's "conservative revolution," was born on July 12, 1868, in Rüdesheim, the son of a wealthy Rhineland wine merchant.
George's homosexuality is an open secret in the scholarship about him; that is, it is a commonplace that almost no one will admit.
George, however, is as responsible for this closetedness as anyone since he strove in his work to create a private space that would be accessible only to those "like-minded" individuals who possessed the code.

 Stefan George - A Gay Biography
Now George's programme was no longer art for art's sake, but a political vision formed in opposition to a time and society he considered vile and decayed, a spiritually void world of mean commercial utilitarianism and brutal power-politics garnished with decorative phrases.
George, who had been opposed to the reality of the Prussian-dominated German Empire, as contrasted with his idea of Germany, was not carried away by the storm of enthusiasm at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, and felt rather confirmed by the defeat of 1918.
George himself, who was already fatally ill, declined all honours by which the new rulers tried to gain his support, and, silent but demonstrative, left Germany to end his life elsewhere.

 glbtq >> arts >> George Segal's Gay Liberation
In 1979, pop sculptor George Segal was commissioned by the Mildred Andrews Fund, a private Cleveland-based foundation that supports public art, to create a work that would commemorate New York City's Stonewall Rebellion, the 1969 riot that conveniently (if somewhat simplistically) marks the beginning of the modern gay liberation movement.
The idea for a sculpture to honor the gay and lesbian rights movement on the tenth anniversary of Stonewall originated with Bruce Voeller (1944-1994), co-founder and first executive director of the National Gay Rights Task Force and the founder of the Mariposa Foundation.
The plan was to create two castings of "Gay Liberation" and to install them in two locations, in New York City's Sheridan Park, near the site of the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, where the events of the summer of 1969 launched the gay liberation movement, and in Los Angeles.

 Gay New York
Gay life in New York has too often been rendered in a stark dichotomy that portrays or assumes the long darkness of "the closet" before liberation in 1969.

Gay and lesbian writers and performers produced gay literature and theater in the 1920s and early 1930s; gay impresarios organized cultural events that sustained and enhanced communal ties and group identity.

 George Bush -- gay adoption advocate
When President Bush announced his intention to promote marriage as an antidote for poverty, he was doing several things intentionally: appealing to social conservatives in the Republican Party; signaling his desire to reduce the costs of welfare reform; making warm and fuzzy sound bites for the 6 o'clock news.
Courts across the country are grappling with this issue as more and more gays and lesbians seek to provide their children with the same legal protections that others have.
Most found that the children of gay or lesbian parents were as well-adjusted socially and psychologically as the children of heterosexual parents.

Matt and Trey thought it was a great idea, but they decided that they wanted him to play a gay dog (probably figuring he'd say no and they'd come up with something else).

 Orals Reading Notes: Gay New York, George Chauncey
The abnormality (or 'queerness') of the 'fairy,' that is, was defined as much by his 'woman-like' character or 'effeminacy' as his solicitation of male sexual partners; the 'man' who responded to his solicitations -- no matter how often -- was not considered abnormal, a 'homosexual,' so long as he abided by masculine gender conventions.
Of course, Gay New York tells us much not only about the construction of "homosexual" as a category but also of its opposite, "heterosexual." Echoing the work of T.J. Jackson Lears in intellectual history, Chauncey describes the "crisis of masculinity" that afflicted middle-class culture in the early years of the century.
According to Chauncey, "the dangers gay men faced increased rapidly in the postwar decades, even as the cultural boundaries of their world were changing." (360) The details of this story he leaves to his forthcoming sequel, The Making of the Modern Gay World, 1935-1975.

 Gay Patriot » George W. Bush: Moderate
While each man was relatively liberal on a number of social issues, including those affecting gay men and lesbians, they were remarkably conservative on a number of fiscal issues, often promoting more radical conservative reforms than other Republicans perceived as far more conservative than they.
Perhaps it was their record on gay issues which caused others to define them as moderates.

 Was Willie Horton Gay? Will George W. Bush Be the Hate-Homosexuals Candidate?
Few Americans now remember that George W. Bush's father was elected president in 1988 in one of the most racist campaigns ever staged in the United States.
Bush was sunk in a scandal-ridden Reagan Administration whose trademark was Iran Contra, the bizarre scam in which the Reaganites had illegally sold arms to Iranian fanatics and slipped the profits to right-wing contra rebels trying to overthrow the duly elected Sandinista government of Nicaragua.
For Rove, gay marriage is the new Willie Horton, a wedge issue perfectly suited to fire up the corporate-funded right-wing church network while diverting public attention from an ailing economy and a failing war effort.
