So inventive, they came up with The Cottage Type twice!
Someone’s been crossing them off that list! They been busy🤪
Lol
Was that like a game of bingo or something? Check off all the ones they have met?
OK, but my question is what are the crosses for?
Is someone out there, or back then, trying to work their way through the list?
Are we supposed to work through this as a checklist?
Or go through it seeing which categories we fit into?
Is that a menu?
Not gonna lie. “The War Queer” sounds metal as fuck.
Surely self-masturbator is a tautology?
Where it says ‘friend’ I have visions of the daft bampot who compiled this list saying oooooo friend when he typed that.
J Draper fan?
War queer sounds fun
Just a young bisexual waiting to be drafted as the war queer!
I want to read this book!
Look out, it’s The War Queer
someone needs to expand this to ‘every type of person’
Are the “X”s the gays they’ve already gone through?
Baldurs Gate 3 subclasses like
It’s like something out of Brasseye
Are we sure this isn’t all the same person?
Hold on as a life long “self masturbator” I’m now officially LGBTQI+, or is it LGBTQIW
Why’s it printed on receipt paper?
Always makes me laugh that Fulham FC are nicknamed ‘the cottagers’
Well if he looks like a quare and sounds like a quare, must be a quare
So what was this list in relation to? Homosexuality in 1962 was, if I remember correctly, illegal and considered abnormal behaviour so one of those items being listed as “The ‘Abnormal’ Homosexual” is unexpected.
Darn, I’m a woman so u can’t call bingo! But I’m sure I’ve payed a few of them
“Self masturbator” feels redundant
I’m not even gay, but how do I get to fully sublimated? Sounds great.
I wish there was a female version 😔
I think you can safely roll “the married man” in with “the demoralized married man” for gay men in 1962
Every friend group has…
I this “eye spy” a gay guy?
OK now do the straights
‘Self-isolated homosexual’ – that’ll be me
So…all men are gay?
To the tune of We Didn’t Start The Fire?
Reminds me on this response on University Challenge [https://youtu.be/47SnI5GGqY8?si=Q97LV4TcNelLXb2E]
Why is a young (or heavily filtered) Gregg Wallace holding up this list?

It appears to be from [this ](https://metro.co.uk/2016/04/17/a-book-on-different-types-of-gay-was-once-funded-by-the-government-5822692/)- which was a report carried out for the Home Office in 1958 (according to the Metro)
The whole book is on [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/the-homosexual-society-1962/mode/2up), and the markings appear to be in that copy, so clearly it was well read by someone for “research”
They missed off Cheesemongers, Cherry Pickers, Bob’s Own, The Emperor’s Chambermaids, and The Immortals.

I used to be “the young bisexual”, now I’m just “the bisexual”
That is some bucket list
My late grandmother used to say “Friend of Dorothy”
I’m definitely the mentally sick homosexual
The nicknames Cheesemongers, Cherrypickers, Bob’s Own, The Emperor’s Chambermaids and The Immortals have been used to describe which groups of men?
I’m definitely the pub type
Feeling a bit boring, as a straight woman. This sounds fun!
I want to open a pub called The Fully Sublimated Homosexual
I’ll take a 26 with two 54s, please.
