Greetings Probonopublico:
I did not locate any specific origin explanation but I did find a few
more references for you and I wanted to know if these fall within the
parameters of the information for which you are searching:
1950 reference
From http://gaytoday.badpuppy.com/garchive/reviews/020199re.htm
"Scandal sheet authors of the 1950s often complained about a
"homintern"; a cabal of homosexual men who controlled the arts." This
is from "Jesse Monteagudo's Book Nook" where there are reviews of two
books, "Cole Porter: A Biography" and "Stephen Sondheim: A Life".
1969 reference
From http://www.antipas.org/books/homo_revolution/hr_03.html
"Time magazine (10/31/'69) speaks of homosexual "homintern" and asks
the questiong "Is there a homosexual conspiracy afoot to dominate the
arts and other fields?"
"Time answers, "Sometimes it seems that way." A gay boss uses his
influence to help gay friends. And before long the circle is closed
and the gays dominate. The music world, the theater, the art world,
painting, dance, fashion, hair dressing, interior design are all
heavily saturated and dominated by the "homintern."
From http://www.jfk-online.com/eoc1301exc.html
"An analysis by A. E. Weeks of the British names in Shaw's address
book shows that he was a handshake away from a member of the Philby
"Homintern." (#25, Lobster 20, 9 pp.)"
I then searched "philby shaw" and found "The private life of Kim
Philby" by Rufina Philby with Hayden Peake and Mikhail Lyubimov. The
term "homintern" was not mentioned on that site but homosexuality was
mentioned.
From http://members.tripod.com/~american_almanac/edwvii.htm but seems
to be just a use of the term in general
"Edward's home at Marlborough House in London was also a center of the
``Homintern.'' One of Edward's friends, Lord Arthur Somerset--known to
his friends as Podge--was arrested during a police raid in one of
London's numerous homosexual brothels. A satire of Edward was written
in the style of Tennyson's ``Idylls of the King.'' This was called
``Guelpho the Gay--the Coming K.'' Some recalled a predecessor on the
throne, Edward the Confessor. This future king was to go down as
Edward the Caresser.
"Prince Felix Yussupov was the heir to the biggest fortune in Russia.
He was also considered the most beautiful transvestite in Europe. One
evening Yussupov, dressed as a woman, attended the theater in Paris.
He noted a portly, whiskered gentleman ogling him through an opera
glass from one of the box seats. Within minutes, Yussupov received a
mash note signed King Edward VII. Remember that Yussupov is the man
who assassinated Rasputin, the holy man and reputed German agent, in
December 1916, detonating the Russian Revolution a few months later.
Here we see the great political importance of King Edward's
Homintern."
From http://www.soach.com/doon/Pages/press17.htm
"There was a time when all the best intellectual networks, from the
Comintern to the Homintern (the Cambridge spy ring), were on the
left."
From http://members.iglou.com/jtmajor/2Lives.htm, a review of THE
TERRIBLE SECRET - review by Joseph T Major of "DOUBLE LIVES: Spies and
Writers in the Secret Soviet War of Ideas Against the West"
"Whence came the moral impetus that drove Burgess into the Soviet
orbit? The Cambridge spies came from the second generation of the
Bloomsbury group. That frustrated political elitism sprang from a
frustrated literary elitism. Koch's choice for the theorist of this
revolution is Lytton Strachey, the godfather of Bloomsbury.
"The central constituent of Stratchey's ideology was "friendship". But
this was only a cover word, a guise to lull the suspicions of the
uncomprehending outsiders. "Stratchey genuinely believed that as a
homosexual he belonged to an erotic elite that had passed beyond the
crudity and grossness of heterosexual manhood into the realms of finer
feeling." [p. 186] And so Guy Burgess and his colleague and probable
recruiter Anthony Blunt, this devil's disciples, used their own secret
clan to recruit for a wider secret clan. Quoting Sir Isaiah Berlin,
Koch refers to it as the "Homintern". (Lyndon LaRouche uses
"Homintern" as a smear of his political targets such as Ed Koch and
Henry Kissinger. This use may cause some confusion.)"
From http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2001/2817goldsmithterrorists.html
"The Goldsmith brothers have been friends of Wall Street financier and
Spook, John Train, since the 1950s, when they worked as a virtual
commune together to publish Paris Review. This magazine promoted
psychedelics through the writings of Alduous Huxley, as well as
promoting the "poetry" of such associates of British "triple agent"
H.A.R. "Kim" Philby and his "Homintern" as W.H. Auden, Stephen
Spender, and so forth."
From http://www.schwarzreport.org/Essays/marxism&americansociety.htm
"When people like Burgess, Maclean, Philby, and Blunt betrayed their
country, their choice was not between their country and their friends,
but between their country and its enemy. Nevertheless, it was with
romantic images of friendship that they justified their conduct. In
the homosexual circle in which they moved-the 'homintern,' as W. H.
Auden aptly described it-the image of 'the friend' had a special
attraction. The friend was the symbol of the only loyalty that
mattered, a loyalty that was private, secret, nurtured in opposition
to the world of normal people. All rival obligations-to spouse,
parents, family, and country-counted for nothing, being merely the
philistine requirements of middle-class bores....And to show their
contempt for King and Country, the homintern threw in their lot with
the Communists....Their Communism was really an anti-patriotism, just
as their adulation of friendship was really a contempt for family
life. The Communist party was able to conscript these essentially
negative feelings, so helping the 'outsiders' of bourgeois society to
become its destroyers."
