But idolatry is really gay, especially if you're worshiping other men.

Joyce literally would not exist without Wagner.

And Proust was heavily dependant on him.

You can look up to them without worshiping them. I think there's a point where it stops being mere admiration and it becomes effete and servile.

>Wagner's endless melody and leitmotif's directly inspire Édouard Dujardin, who founded the Revue Wagnérienne, to transmute it into a literary form as the inner monologue, or stream of consciousness
>also inspired George Moore similarly
>Joyce read's both Dujardin and Moore, and gives full credit of the inner monologue/stream of consciousness to Dujardin, even writing a dedication in Dujardin's French edition of Ulysses, "to the discoverer of interior monologue, from the unrepentant thief!"
This is one of countless examples, and you could go so far as to say that Joyce is literarising Wagner's artistic theories.

>Wagner sums up modernity. It can’t be helped, one must first become a Wagnerian

Most of In Search of Lost Time isn't about gays. His best known work is probably the Swann in Love episode excerpted from the first volume, and it's about a heterosexual love affair.
