Gabriel Garcia Marquez' book, "Amor en los tiempos de colera," always reminded me of the dynamics of a closeted gay relationship. The man and woman fell in love at a young age but were separated when she married a more 'suitable' partner.

In old age, they find each other again, and they get on a boat, when a cholera epidemic breaks out. The boat is forbidden to land, so the two reunited lovers are quarantined together for the rest of their lives, floating up and down the river.
