F. Scott Fitzgerald
And in the end, we're all just humans... drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
Was reading up on the homoeroticism between Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby and remembered several things. First off, that Nick was implied to have had sex with a feminine man at an orgy. Second, that Jordan Baker is described as a masculine and free spirited kind of woman, one who pursues sports and competition, the way women were not typically allowed to do.
And third, that Fitzgerald originally had a passage about Nick being "amorously pursued" by a former male acquaintance, but deleted it.
So.
Nick was very gay/bisexual.
And then I went further into that rabbit hole and found out that Fitzgerald's wife thought he was gay and claimed he had an affair with Ernest Hemingway. And also that he flirted with men and described himself as "half feminine."
Which was wild to find out, btw. They didn't teach me that in ap lit.

Well, let it pass; April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Sensible Thing
"You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest and most beautiful person I have ever known and even that is an understatement."
F. Scott Fitzgerald
