Honestly I'm not a big Lovecraft guy. Like I read synopses of his stories and impressionable nerds being driven mad by wacky weirdo shit seems like extremely my thing, but reading actual stories is like pulling teeth. Maybe he was just that bad of a writer or maybe I don't know English well enough to enjoy his verbose nerdy prose...
Gays weren't even on his radar. Women barely appear in his stories at all, so he doesn't give himself much opportunity to be openly misogynistic. Dude was really laser focused on abominations and racism.
Are you sure? Hbomberguy did a whole video about it centering around a 2010 movie adaptation of a shadow over insmuth called Cthulhu which explores homosexuality and repression etc
edit: Naw, I was wrong he was just mega racist
I'm down for a queer reading of Lovecraft, but I just meant he wasn't openly writing about how horrifying the gays are like he was with PoC
I'm rewatching it right now to verify, but my memory of this includes a section discussing direct examples of homophobia, I'll report back
It's totally possible I've forgotten some
