There's an intellectual cost to homophobia: if you don't publish gay & lesbian writers your cutting yourself off from important voices.
@brianmdoherty In general I think conservative magazines were more open to sexually heterodox writers in 1950s/1960s than now. 1/2

@HeerJeet@brianmdoherty They were more more open to heterodox writers in general. And literary ones. Partisan focus today acts as filter. -
@ToryAnarchist@brianmdoherty Yes, that's absolutely true. In 1960s NR published Theodore Sturgeon, a nudist & free-love advocate.

@HeerJeet@brianmdoherty Also more stylistically heterodox writers, such as D. Keith Mano, a brilliant phrase-turner who wrote for NR. -
@JamesWolcott@brianmdoherty Exactly. Mano, Hugh Kenner, Garry Wills, Joan Dideon, Arlene Croce. Nothing like the nimrods they have now. - Show replies
