}}James Fugaté (February 13, 1922 – March 28, 1995) was an author and activist in the gay rights movement.[1] Fugaté wrote several works under the pseudonym James Barr.[2] He is well-known for his two novels, short stories, a play, and writings in three reputable gay publications.[4]

The Wichita State University Libraries has a special collection about Fugaté, including letters, photographs, and other artifacts.[3]

Life

Fugaté was born in an oilfield boom town[1] and is believed to have worked as a roustabout on an oilfield.[2] He attended college, likely at the University of Oklahoma.[4] In 1942, he joined the United States Navy.[5] After World War II ended, he worked in advertising until publishing his first novel, A Modern Novel, in 1950.[1] This caused him to become known as a celebrity in the gay community,[4] as the book was lauded as a milestone in American gay fiction,[6] breaking the stereotype of other gay novels typical of the time.[7] In 1952, Fugaté voluntarily returned to active duty with the Navy, and was stationed in Alaska.[1] Later that year, his true identity as the author of Quatrefoil was revealed, which led to his being honorably discharged from the Navy.[4] This experience marked an epiphany for Fugaté, who realized that in defending himself, he was also defending the rights of others in the gay community.[8]

Fugaté worked as a contributing writer to ONE, Der Kreis, and Mattachine Review, writing about gay experiences and issues.[1] In ONE, he also commented on organized religion.[9] He later worked in newspapers in Kansas before moving to New York in the early 70s. He finally returned to Oklahoma, where he worked for ten years in a hospital before dying of liver cancer in 1995.[4]
