"Golz was gay, and he had wanted him to be gay before he left, but he hadn't been. All the best ones, when you thought it over, were gay. It was much better to be gay, and it was a sign of something, too. It was like having immortality while you were still alive. That was a complicated one. There were not many of them left, though. No, there were not many of the gay ones left." - For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemmingway.
