He tolerated his gay friends in the club because he really had very little choice. <br /><br />When I asked Fred about the private Snow papers he was coy and a bit snide. Fred said something along the lines of, "nobody needs to know about all those little shenanigans Jack got into..." Fred's attitude seemed to be he was cleaning up a messy bit of history. <br /><br />Fred was still terribly homophobic to the end of his days. In 2000, at the IWOOC centennial conference, Fred sat outside the "Why Gay Men Like Oz" panel so he could forbid families or children from entering the room.David Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672089188117065118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-63037921517249814282012-01-12T06:09:38.714-08:002012-01-12T06:09:38.714-08:00One has to realize this was 1956, not 2012.
