Stanley Kaufmann, Critic

I'm searching for "a famous incendiary manifesto by Stanley Kauffmann" published in 1966, purported to "set forth a bluntly damning and prejudicial way of criticizing works by homosexual writers."* The same document was referenced in the documentary "Making the Boys". I believe it was published in either the NY Times or the New Republic. However, I can't seem to find a copy of Kaufmann's actual text. Does anyone know the title of the piece and/or where I might locate a copy?



Thanks!

Are you talking about "Homosexual Drama and Its Disguises"? It was published in the January 23, 1966, issue of the New York Times. (I happened to know this because the essay was mentioned in Eminent Outlaws: The Gay Writers Who Changed America by Christopher Bram, which I've just recently read so it was still fresh in my mind. Eminent Outlaws is about gay/queer male literature in the post World War II years.)
