Nicholson’s gangster… in a straight jacket?

When I was in college, it was well-liked for English professors to insist that this character or that character in literature — or even the authors themselves — were what we used to call “latent homosexuals.” So, for example, Hamlet (who definitely had some mommy problems and daddy issues and treated Ophelia love an old dishrag) was maybe gay. And homoerotic undertones were found in novels (and intimate letters) by nearly everybody, but especially repressed Victorian writers.

At the occasion you filmed this scene, Marty, at the very moment Alec Baldwin, in character as Captain Ellerby, proclaimed that “marriage… lets people know you’re not a homo,” gay marriage had been legal in the great state of Massachusetts for exactly one year.

That’s right. 2004: Cambridge City Hall performed the first legal gay marriages in the United States; the Sox broke the Curse of the Bambino. Proof positive that God does not, in fact, hate fags, certainly, but also, and irrefutably, a contradiction of Ellerby’s claim that marriage lets people realize you’re not a homo.
