Hoyle Martin doesn't like it, the steady creep, the constant surge and seep of sex into everyday life. He especially abhors "deviant sex." It's everywhere, he says. Just look at Ellen DeGeneres on the cover of Time magazine, he says with disgust. Why can't homosexuals keep their private lives private? That's what he wants to know. "People ask me if I have any gay friends," said Martin, 69. "I tell them that if I do, I don't know it. And that's the way it ought to be."
