Beebe gay

It certainly doesn't change the nature of their literary contributions, I was just curious-. It was a good joke, but you can view it how you want! I thought so, too, from what I have read about them. Was relatively well known. An author, journalist, historian, raconteur, gourmet and bon vivant extraordinary – this extraordinary personality was world-famous and a long-time columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Information found on some pro-gay websites indicates that they were, uh, more than friends. Their collaboration produced several good books, Mixed Train Daily is one of the finest train books I've ever read. I didn't know or care, for 20 years but one of the tipoffs were they way they decorated their Virgina City.

Clegg outlived Beebe by many years, and, while he did ultimately commit suicide, as I say, it was many years after Beebe's death. [2] He attended both Harvard University and Yale University, where he contributed to the campus newspaper, ''Harvard Crimson'', and the humor magazine, ''The Yale Record''.

Beebe was born in Wakefield, Massachusetts, to a prominent Boston family. He loved trains and had his own private railway car. While doing some research on the private car "Virginia City", I came across several sources of biographical information listing car owners Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg as long-time "partners".

I was interested in knowing if their 'relationship' was common knowledge in the railfan community, or if the aforementioned websites were perpetrating inaccurate information about these men in an attempt to promote the gay cause. They're out of S. [3] During his tenures at boarding school and university, Beebe was known for his numerous pranks.

They lived in a time when gay relationships were not deemed socially acceptable; however, they enjoyed the privileges their social standings brought them. Joel Gilmore. Wonder what the Railroaders thought when they ventured out of private cars in say Chama with their satin robes.

I assumed they were pro-gay sites, I really didn't look around to find out! A search of the names Beebe and Clegg on Yahoo! Clegg was his much younger paramour. Yes, Beebe was gay, and it was well-known in San Francisco literary circles if not among working railroaders you are aware that Beebe was a newspaperman in San Francisco, right?

Not that there is anything wrong with that or or that I would actually ever log on to a web-site that promotes that sort of thing which is ok so long as long as it is someone elses business in private and even some of my friends are It is widely acknowledged that they pioneered the "rods down" school of steam locomotive photography Railroad books before they came along were pretty much business histories without pictures or photobooks without text.

Not that it really is today or that it really matters. Never had the guts to bring it up, though. Far as I care, their work is good. Without casting judgement on anyone's lifestyle choice, I was wondering if I was the only railfan that didn't know this, or if perhaps the pro-gay websites mentioned are in error.

Based on their rather flamboyant lifestyles dealing with RRs and other things, most folks kind of came to that conclusion on their own. Covering the many railroad photography and writing accomplishments of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg, it also highlights of their touching romance.

For the record, I do not frequent gay-related websites. In those days, it wasn't considered really anybody else's business. The heck with them As long as they don't do it in the streets and scare the horses. The names Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg appeared on these lists.

Anyone that does reading on the subject finds out. Click here to see what you are missing! Lucius Morris Beebe (December 9, – February 4, ) was an American writer, gourmand, photographer, railroad historian, journalist, and syndicated columnist. But Clegg I think commited suicide after losing Beebe or something.

San Francisco Chronicle columnist Lucius Beebe was probably the first gay man and major celebrity to have a publicly open relationship.
