I would say it was a category of modern life or lifestyle on which Percy
did not expend too much consciousness. But I'm sure somewhere in his
writings he made a gamey crack or two about homosexuals, or offered up
what might be seen as an "insensitive portrayal". It doesn't take much
these days to be qualified as a "phobe" of one sort or another in some
people's minds.
Cheers, R. Pauley

Dear Friends,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any books or events planned this year
that are Percy-related.
Also, a retired professor friend of mine recently told me that he did
not
care for Walker Percy because he was a 'homophobe'. In the many bios,
interviews and stories I have heard and read about WP's life -I have
never
heard or read anything about his position on homosexuals. Is he
mistaken?
