Was John Knowles Gay?




Was Knowles gay? I can't say for certain. I am aware that some sources say so, but I do not know this for a fact. His friend, Gore Vidal, was gay. However, I'm not sure that either one "came out of the closet" when the two of them were in prep school. Did they have a relationship? I have no idea. Gore Vidal was depicted as Brinker (the boy with a large rump) in the novel, A Separate Peace. In that novel, none of the boys, not even Brinker, was depicted as gay.
