Homophile Fiction

I’ve never really managed to decide if I wish the word homophile had managed to survive.

“Same liking” is a good point to make. Sexual and affectional orientations aren’t always identical. But homophile seems such a timid word.

It also invests the book with a touch of sincerity. But The Flaming Suckers is hardly queer friendly. The author and editor/publisher may have had different goals.

Is that bit of furniture supposed to be the closet the man is living in?
