any of the people listed are homosexual. Their personal lives may be researched in books published about them.
"Paul
Roen's High Camp spends little time defining camp but dishes it delightfully
out ... And he can be very, very funny, the only infallible sign of a
true camper. High Camp is the rare sort of 'guide' that's a pleasure
to read cover to cover." --Lambda Book Report
