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.

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.
