E9a: A review of 'Some Angry Summer Songs', published by Talonbooks, a collection of four one-act plays by John Herbert, reviewed by Anton Wagner with an editorial comment contradicting Wagner's opinions, written by Ed Jackson. July/August, 1977. E9b: A letter from Anton Wagner on the subject of Ed Jackson's cuts to A.W.'s original review and E.J.'s dissenting comments, following the review. Ed Jackson again adds a note at end of E.W.'s letter. October, 1977. Note: Ed Jackson, review editor for Body Politic (Toronto's first gay newspaper) in the nineteen-seventies (and after) was one of many homosexual men of that era (and this one, the year 2000) that was made uncomfortable by openly feminine gay men like John Herbert and ready at all times to disapprove of everything created by effeminate homosexuals. This contingent of 'masculine-males-only' gay men are rather like misogynistic heterosexual men who insist on being superior to women in all things. These 'Gays' particularly dislike 'drag Queens' (transvestites, cross-dressers and female impersonators). The editorial staff on the second gay newspaper, Xtra, carries on this 'masculine gays are superior' attitude and the gay men involved are not too different from 'closet Queers' who want acceptance by straight society. Anton Wagner was and is a much more cosmopolitan and intelligently tolerant Gay man, a writer and film-maker who has become an impressive historian of wordly [sic] vision. J.H. (Sept. 2000).
