Nope. Eliza Doolittle changed all that after he became “Accustomed to Her Face”.
Wow! Now the whole thing is ringing through my head, having seen the whole performance. Ah,innocent (well almost)pre gay times, when homosexual was homosexual and people knew. Never dared make false accusations or face retribution.
Well done!
"Say what you want about J. Edgar Hoover, but when he was around, nobody messed with the F.B.I.....and he looked better in a dress than Janet Reno!"
Oh yeah, and Hoover was as queer as a three dollar bill.
You mean the beard he is currently dating.
If you say so. I don’t know - but I do know he seems to run around after absurdly hot women. Not that there is anything wrong with that! ;)
Then there was the KGB rumour that Rock Hudson and Liberace were “gay”, when both of them were married! To wymyn!
Gay? Don't think so. (And this was before Doris became a virgin!)
J. Edgar appears to have been a proto-computer hacker, you know, fanboy.
“I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin” Oscar Levant
as a 3 dollar bill! lol.
You didn't need the KGB to ask such questions and give the expected answers, and it's not like the Soviets were Hoover's only enemies.
If there is a "conspiracy" here, you can chalk it up to the Mafia, and it's not really a conspiracy, just one of those rumors that spread and spread.
Mafiosi said they had photos of Hoover in a dress and by now a lot of people believe they did.
I don't know what Hoover got up to in the bedroom, but it's more likely that no such photos existed than that the Mafia had them.
Incidently, the film also insinuates that Hoover couldn't blackmail Roosevlelt with a suggestive letter from his wife to her lesbian lover, because Roosevelt knew about the relationship, and was cool with it. It also has a wiretap of President Kennedy having sex with "as East German Communist," and AG Bobby Kennedy more interested persuing Martin Luther King than further prosecution of Communist infiltrators.
Look, it is high time people on this website come to terms with the fact that libertarians and conservatives are different KINDS of Republicans. Federal law enforcement is not popular among libertarians.
As the son of a retired FBI agent, I am glad I did not see this movie with my father, as we originally planned. I am going to talk him and my mother into seeing the Margaret Thatcher biopic instead. Maybe it will get into her alleged affair with Ronald Reagan.
