As a gay man I'd be delighted to give a few of my observations!
A little poem to begin with - well gays ARE poetic, aren't they?

Anyone who thinks there is such a thing as "gay history" isn't gay.
Anyone who thinks it's something to specialise in - I'd better not say.

Then - there is no such thing as the "gay world".
Then - a collection of misconceptions and stereotyped ideas:
"a sensibility that allows for a wider range of 
possibilities, and sees alternative viewpoints and connections"
"several hints IMO. First, the  word "merry" was applied several times
to the photograph of DD and GG, with their arms around each other"
"possibly one of the "merry" boys in the photo. I wondered if he had a
romantic relationship with DD at school, and their proposed trip
around the world after graduation was meant to be a sort of honeymoon."
"Thought the sun shone out of my brother's every orifice, he did." IMO
this was another one-word hint."
"there was that plum velvet suit"
The third one - offensive.
The last one - ludicrous.
In high academe no doubt there is a professor who doesn't understand
what I've said.
Out here in the real world every real gay man does understand.
