I'm not sure whether you will think it works or not, but the story was The History of Music. The author knows the comic book verse.
As far as Captain America's background, Wikipedia thinks he was born on the Lower East Side and is Irish Catholic, and was a comic book artist before he was turned into a superhero. So, potentially an urbane guy who has met gay men.
After reading the memoir of Frank O'Hara's roommate Joe LeSeur (which I reviewed on LJ here in some annoying level of detail) I see the 1950s as both an era of backlash and as a period when a lot of gay men were WWII veterans.
If not heteronormative schmoop, maybe it's appropriate for Steve/Cap to indulge in more queer sorta schmoop? Frank O'Hara did.
