homintern noun an aggressive, loyal homosexual subculture US A term coined by W.H. Auden, punning on the Marxist “comintern” or Communist International.
The notion that the arts are dominated by a kind of homosexual Mafia–or “Homintern,” as it has been called–is sometimes exaggereated, particularly by spiteful failures looking for scapegoats. — Joe David Brown, Sexinthe‘60s, p. 67, 1968
