Latent Homosexuality Vintage Photograph & Paper Collage
$50.00
Two men in military uniform are photographed together and each have their eyes obscured by bars to obscure their identity. Below them is a window with a disclaimer that the image may depict latent homosexuality and the honor of the military officers might be compromised. This is a overt reference to historical US military policies to dishonorably discharge men who were gay and more recent policies such as 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
The history of the US military was, and is, a microcosm of American life that demonstrated queer people needed to hide and obscure themselves to avoid persecution. This piece is a sort of psuedo-historical document that encapsulates this history of queer persecution.
Art registry number and information are insde the piece. The artwork is matted and fits an American standard 9" x 12" frame.
