From Tuesday's LA Times (7/2/02): In a town where corporate brutality is suavely masked behind a smile, onetime mogul Michael Ovitz has shattered protocol and stunned hard-to-shock Hollywood by lashing out at what he calls the industry's "gay mafia" in a forthcoming Vanity Fair article.See also hereOvitz told the magazine he was convinced he was the victim of a well-orchestrated strategy led, in part, by DreamWorks SKG founder David Geffen and Ovitz's founding partner at Creative Artists Agency, Ron Meyer, who now runs Universal Studios.

FROM New York Post: "Although several of the "members" of the "gay Mafia" aren't gay, Ovitz said they include Walt Disney Chairman Michael Eisner and Ron Meyer - Ovitz's onetime business partner and currently the COO of Universal Studios. Others in the cabal, Ovitz said, are former Ovitz protégés Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane and Richard Lovett, as well as talent manager Bernie Brillstein. Ovitz says the group is still after him. "And they still hate me. Everyone. "David [Geffen] has always hated me. He got Ronnie [Meyer] to turn on me, and then Bryan Lourd and everyone else," said Ovitz."

Thanks for the info. I already knew what the term ment.
I didn't know that so many 'gays' were executives in Hollywood. I read the article link which says Aaron Spelling is gay. I am confused because he was married and has a actress daughter, Tori Spelling. I guess gays can be married but what kind of a lousy relationship is that.
