Camus on homosexuality

I was trying to find something online about Albert Camus' attitude to homosexuality, because I vaguely remember reading something about him being homophobic in a Truman Capote biography. All I could find was this passage he apparently wrote about a gay novel: [quote]Cet amour est évoqué sans complaisance ni coquetterie, ce qui, pour finir, le rend plus respectable que la chiennerie dont nos scènes de boulevard parlent sans relâche à d'inlassables spectateurs. C'est pourquoi on souhaite à ce livre de n'être pas trop souillé par les ricanements qui servent de contre-chant, chez nous, aux choses de l'amour. Unfortunately, my French is only very rudimentary. Can somebody translate it for me?

• Sure.

  Google

• It talks about when the man goes up into the man.

• Cet amour est évoqué sans complaisance ni coquetterie, ce qui, pour finir, le rend plus respectable que la chiennerie dont nos scènes de boulevard parlent sans relâche à d'inlassables spectateurs This love is evoked without complacency or vanity, which, finally, makes it more respectable than the bitchiness which our boulevard scenes speak tirelessly to d' tireless spectators. C'est pourquoi on souhaite à ce livre de n'être pas trop souillé par les ricanements qui servent de contre-chant, chez nous, aux choses de l'amour. It is why we wish this book be not defiled by the sneers that serve as counterpoint, with us, how things ' love.

• [quote]It is why we wish this book be not defiled by the sneers that serve as counterpoint, with us, how things ' love. Thanks for making it so wonderfully clear, R3. You could find work at the United Nations as a translator whenever you want.

• Those French and all their silliness about hommesexuals.

• He would be also good at subway delay announcements

• "This love is evoked without complacency or vanity" Obviously, Camus had no familiarity with homosexuals or DL.

• I like the way Frenchmen say "hommesexual."

• R7 FTW

• Clearly the only gay men R7 has ever encountered were on DL. So now she fancies herself as some kind of expert.
