Diary excerpt: Friday, August 28, 1942 Last nite depression about the New York trip got me in its grip and it continued this morning. Went over to George's. George went to get a prescription filled and after we came out asked me if I'd noticed a fellow in the booth, saying it was Freddy Pond, I remember with horror how I used to have to go over to his house after school and tutor him in his steps for dancing school. His mother, who later made the costumes for the exhibition, played the piano and Freddy bore it all with genuine patience. Mrs. Pond always said he idolized me but how I hated the whole boring business, just a bit of parental diplomacy. George says that Freddy is now "trade" even tho married and a father. I must admit that I don't know the meaning of that word, so often used among homos, but think it must mean someone who's willing only for money. George is so much more up on such things than I am.

Itβs only useful marketing wise β the gay community supports its writers. Thereβs these bookstores that stock the book, publications that review the book β which is great. Heterosexuals donβt tend to get that. But my work is not about homosexuality at all, it's completely relative. Itβs useless in that sense. I mean Genet and Burroughs...are they gay writers? Is Bataille a heterosexual writer? Its not about that at all. Itβs not about homosexuality except that itβs something that puts you outside of culture, which is where everyone should want to be anyway. KH: It puts you on the outside of culture? DC: It gives you a vantage point, so you donβt have to participate in the same way, in the way society is set up. I mean the rules are set up for people who want to be happy and make a lot of money and have two kids and blah blah blah. If you donβt want that-if youβre gay or not gay, really, you donβt have to play that game- you can observe it. Homosexuals, all minorities, are excluded from being involved in the process, so you work the margins where everything great always happens anyway. KH: Youβre saying that youβre marginal and taking the outsider stance, but the writing is saying that youβre not. DC: Well, our writing is not about gay society, gay ritual or thinking about what it means to be homosexual. Who cares? Gary Indiana: Itβs not about coming out of the closet. DC: Itβs about things that everybodyβs... fear of the Other, or obsession- things that everybody can relate to. People who are interested in our work are not just gay people. Most gay people are not interested in our work at all. There are some weirdo gay people who are interested. Iβve been publishing for a long time and Iβve gotten attacked all the time by the gay press, because they say my work is not politically correct: I shouldnβt represent homosexual people as murderers, homosexuals should be reprβ¦
