George Washington, the leader of the Continental Army and the first U.S. president, was a "big queen." So says Larry Kramer, author of the new book "The American People: Volume 1," which posits that a surprising number of our Founding Fathers were gay. Kramer insists that Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the Treasury, also was gay and lusted after Washington. "There's no question ... Alex was very much in love with him," Kramer said in the SiriusXM interview. "It was a mutual attraction." And not just Washington and Hamilton were gay. Kramer says Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson (our seventh president) and Franklin Pierce (our 14th president) had sexual liaisons with men. http://www.oregonlive.com/books/index.ssf/2015/04/author_uses_gaydar_as_evidence.html#incart_river
What about Ronald Reagan? He was in his 70s, dyed his hair red, and wore women's rouge on his cheeks, for that red campfire look he adopted as an actor. He swaggered to the podium like John Wayne approached his horse. Notice how different his 4 children were from him? They were adopted to hide his being gay. Notice how Jane Wyman divorced him after adopting those fake children? How much more proof do you need? Notice how there were no rumors of any affairs? Alright then.
The horror. Could you imagine the outrage that the $1 bill staring back at people for so long was a homosexual
http://cuhistory3057.tripod.com/hyde/id1.html Some historians denounce the claims the Governor was a transvestite - mostly on the grounds that his accusers were pro-American independence. Given the draconian nature of libel laws in that era, that claim seems spurious. People could be sent to prison for slandering British colonial officials.
And here I thought I simply had an aversion to Federalist. But I at least appreciate that fact that we weren't forced to know in vivid detail. Therefore, Gentlemen they are.
