Camille--

I too am  interested in knowing source of view Hemingway was gay.  There
is open discussion in "FAthers and Sons" about sodomy (i.e. sex with
animals) and "mashing"--also I believe at some point--perhaps in
Gertrude Stein's "Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas"--something is said
about Hemingway having tried "everything"--but no details.  That he had
enormous complexes about mother, father, women, men, sex, guns, death,
there can be little doubt--and a lot of it does get communicated one way
or another.  Gertrude Stein, who always liked Hemingway (the young
Hemingway) (see Stein again and Hemingway's MOveable Feast for chapters
on Stein), thought he never told the complete truth about himself. 
Whether he actually qualified as card-carrying phony--again, at least,
in his better, early writing, I'm not so sure. 

Best, Denis Jonnes
