Homintern
Homintern was a term used from the 1930s onwards for a supposed conspiracy theory, which claimed that a large number of gay men in elite positions controlled the arts, scholarship and/or the theatre world, similar to the concept of a "gay mafia".〔Mike Wallace, ("The Homosexuals" (1967) ). "Homosexuals are discriminated against in almost all fields of employment in all parts of the (States ). But in the world of the creative arts, they receive equal treatment - indeed, some will say better treatment. There is even talk of a homosexual mafia in the arts, dominating various fields - theater, music, dance, fashion. In painting, there is the commonly expressed notion that the homosexual's influence has been corrupting."〕
==Etymology==
The word is a play on the word "Comintern," the short name of the Communist International and was used because it was believed that such homosexuals, being enemies of "traditional" values, were card-carrying Communist Party USA members as well.
The earliest dated reference to the term seems to be from 1937, when the classical scholar Maurice Bowra referred to himself as a member of the Homintern.〔"Bowra, Sir (Cecil) Maurice (1898–1971)" by L. G. Mitchell, ("Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" )〕 However, there are competing claims about who coined the term.
