Latent homosexuality

"Latent homosexuality" (or unconscious homosexuality) is type of repressed sexuality with various outward manifestations. ^[1]

In fiction

In Kingsley Amis' 1966 book The Anti-Death League , the main character is introduced while resisting treatment for repressed homosexuality – which a doctor believes that he has – despite the man being openly homosexual.

Latent homosexual themes were a common theme of science fiction films of the 1950s. ^[2]
