I love homolit, especially the older stuff. Back when sodomy and other fun stuff was illegal, authors had rely on subtlety and allusion to get their point across, which resulted in some truly rich literature.
The sad paradox of modern gay lit is that the openness towards homosexuality has allowed writers to produce work with lower standards. Good news is that the smut's never been better.

Any examples of the old stuff? I'm genuinely interested

yes, A Single Man and Mrs. Dalloway are my favorites, what is with this barrage of sjw-undertoned threads tonight?

I feel like /lit/ is under the scrutiny of someine looking for reasons to complain

The Picture of Dorian Gray is probably the most obvious example.
Mishima's work almost always has allusions to his homosexual desires, pages praising the he male from. Except for Confessions of a Mask, where the desire is explicit.
The Monk, written by Mathew Lewis in the 1700's, has the main character fall in love with a woman disguised as a male novice (dat subtext yo,) Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Maturing is similar, but only slightly morenobvius.

Fun fact: Maturin was Oscar Wilde's great-uncle.

Didn't you post the same thread before except you said lgtb? One of my favorite books is confessions of a mask, so yeah.

Wasn't mine but I think I did see it. It's just I finished Maurice yesterday so I was curious.

Giovanni's Room is a good read.

Maurice is shit. Literally Forsters worst.

What's the best Forster to read, other than A passage to India?

Does Shakespeare's Twelfth Night count?
