Some things you need to know, even if you don't want to know them.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X was very specific in its mention of his father’s adherence to the politics of Marcus Garvey.
What else did this author not get correct?

I am very skeptical of revisionist histories, especially those which paint historical figures as homosexual. It’s entirely plausible that Ghandi wasn’t quite a saint, and Malcom X’s background of racial hatred is no secret, but trying to paint them both as gay? That smacks of the effort to say Abraham Lincoln was gay. If they’ve got pictures or first-hand eyewitness accounts of these guys taking it in the rear, then I’ll believe. Otherwise, meh.

I’m glad the spelling police are always around whenever I make a typo.
Keep up the good work.

So this is the evidence that Gandhi was not a great man, an accusation of homosexuality?

Penn and teller do a very nice skewering of Mother Teresa. Pretty amazing, actually.

Got a point. With the agressive gay agenda and the liberal writers, it could be said that everyone coming over on the Mayflower were gay - Adam and Eve were gay. Gotta have a lot more proof.

However, Gandhi was indeed strange in those ways.
He used to sleep with his teen-age nieces in later years. I don't think that's a rumor.
It's kind of like Michael Jackson. He was never caught red-handed by a photographer but all the quirky habits do lead one to think these things are true.

So this is the evidence that Gandhi was not a great man, an accusation of homosexuality? There's already plenty of evidence to prove that he was not so great even without this charge.

I don’t know - but I do know that you don’t need to catch a liar in every lie to know that they are less than scrupulous with the truth.

Also, Gandhi's “German” lover - pointed out right before accusations of his antisemitism - was Jewish.
Not a lie to leave that fact out - but certainly a bit of relevant knowledge that didn't fit the narrative - and thus was ‘somehow’ left out.

But to think the jewel of the british empire was brought down by a sissy boy does bring a smile to my face.

"It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer of the type well-known in the East, now posing as a fakir, striding half naked up the steps of the Viceregal palace to parley on equal terms with the representative of the King-Emperor." Winston Churchill
