520    The first sustained study of the relations between 
       literary celebrity and queer sexuality, Categorically 
       Famous looks at the careers of three celebrity writers--
       James Baldwin, Susan Sontag, and Gore Vidal--in relation 
       to the gay and lesbian liberation movement of the 1960s. 
       While none of these writers "came out" in our current 
       sense, all contributed, through their public images and 
       their writing, to a greater openness toward homosexuality 
       that was an important precondition of liberation. Their 
       fame was crucial, for instance, to the growing conception 
       of homosexuals as an oppressed minority rather than as 
       individuals with a psychological problem. Challenging 
       scholarly orthodoxies, Guy Davidson urges us to rethink 
       the usual opposition to liberation and to gay and lesbian 
       visibility within queer studies as well as standard 
       definitions of celebrity. The conventional ban on openly 
       discussing the homosexuality of public figures meant that 
       media reporting at the time did not focus on his 
       protagonists' private lives. At the same time, the careers
       of these "semi-visible" gay celebrities should be 
       understood as a crucial halfway point between the era of 
       the open secret and the present-day post-liberation era in
       which queer people, celebrities very much included, are 
       enjoined to come out
