There's an intellectual cost to homophobia: if you don't publish gay & lesbian writers your cutting yourself off from important voices.
@JamesWolcott @brianmdoherty Exactly. Mano, Hugh Kenner, Garry Wills, Joan Dideon, Arlene Croce. Nothing like the nimrods they have now.

@HeerJeet@JamesWolcott & come to think of it, Florence Kennedy is an out bisexual -- def. sexually unorthodox! -
