Letter to the New Yorker from famous AIDS activist Larry Kramer (Apr 16, 2007 edition, ltr not online).
“Jill Lepore, in her piece regarding Jamestown as it approaches its four-hundredth anniversary, writes, ‘It is a story of some lessons painfully learned, and others not learned at all.’ (”Our Town,” April 2nd). To that statement I would add, ‘and the most important lesson of all hardly recognized to this day.’ In his book, “Sexual Revolution in Early America,” Richard Godbeer, a professor at the University of Miami, writes, ‘Jamestown was initially an all-male settlement…Male colonists outnumbered women by roughly six to one in the 1620s and by four to one in later decades…It is difficult to believe that a group of young and notoriously unbridled men remained celibate for an extended period of time. It seems likely that some male settlers deprived of female companionship would have turned to each other instead…[and] reasonable to assume that much of the sex…was sodomitical.’ My research for my own work-in-progress, “The American People: A History,” has revealed not only that male-only partnerships were quite in evidence but that services were often conducted to join the partners ‘under God’ and, of equal interest, that they adopted Indian children to raise as their own. I hope it will not be long before scholars will acknowledge that Jamestown was in fact not only America’s first colony but also its first homosexual community.”Larry Kramer
