- In "The Homosexual Villain," a tract written in 1954, Norman Mailer acknowledged that in the 40's he himself had equated homosexuality with evil. Mr. Mailer confirmed that a few characters in his early novels were homosexual stereotypes; back then, he said, he believed "that there was an intrinsic relation between homosexuality and 'evil.' " It was a time when homosexuality could be used as a plot device to reduce exposition and simplify motivation. FILM; Gay-Bashing, Villainy and the Oscars, 1992 by John Weir
