It sounds like that piece was written as satire, or at least published as it. It does sound like the premise of something from EC comics, because back in those days, social commentary was not subtle (take a look at the story judgement day, that's nowhere near subtle). As much as Hef was a creep (especially near the end), I don't think he was homophobic. There is an interview in the 50's or 60's where he flat out stated that he felt the most persecuted minority in America were gays. Vid below has the clip, vimeo is being an rear end in a top hat, so skip to 37:32 https://vimeo.com/87143498

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Whether or not Hefner is a homophobe isn't really the point. If you have to come out and explain that a piece is actually satire, then your editorial control is poo poo. Well, I know goons don't get satire, so it's not much of a stretch to say most folks would not get it. Hell, Swift's A Modest Proposal is satire, and some people really don't get it today. His natural causes lasted more than 4 hours.
