Heute vor 5 Jahren starb der Autor #MartCrowley in New York. Sein #Theaterstück "The Boys in the Band" (1968) rückte erstmals schwules Leben explizit in den Mittelpunkt der Handlung. Für die 1. #Verfilmung schrieb er das #Drehbuch. Wir erinnern an ihn mit Hinweis auf die #Filmkritik:
▶ Maxi Braun, Vom Tabubrecher zum Tabu: Comeback für The Boys in the Band (1970), #WerkstattGeschichte 86/2022, werkstattgeschichte.de/alle_au

"Even if your whiskers, bringing hair, have sprung forth,
and soft blonde curls are on your temples,
even so I do not flee my eromenos. But his beauty
even with a beard, even with hair, is mine."

Greek Anthology 12.10

A young man with body hair was considered no longer attractive by the beauty standards of #ancientGreece. Once he could grow a full beard, he wasn't eromenos material anymore.

"Homer's Nestor was no tactician when he urged the Greeks to form in companies by clans and tribes, since he should have stationed lover by beloved. [...] A band that is held together by the affection between lovers is indissoluble and not to be broken, since the lovers are ashamed to play the coward before their beloved, and the beloved before their lovers, and both stand firm in danger to protect each other."
