This is the third of three articles on gay men who suffered, and to some degree transcended, enormous physical and emotional agony. The first subject was Felix Irizarry, on March 10; the second, Denton Welch, March 17.
(N.B. The release date of Night and Day, a foolishly inaccurate biopic starring Cary Grant as Cole Porter, was 1946, not 1954 as erroneously printed below.)
