“Hoover’s alleged homosexuality was contrived by the KGB in the 1960s.”

Yeah, I’m sure the KGB also contrived the facts that Hoover never married, never dated a woman seriously, lived with his mother until she died, and had an ever-present male companion that he took vacations with.

Had an old Irish uncle who would fit above description. Definitely not Gay. He was also a drinker. Usually several pints after work at the mill. He probably realized no woman (except his Mom) would accept such behavior. Don't be so influenced by our present day-and-age. In other eras, people were more simple, and not so obsessed by sex, and there was no media that shoved it in their faces.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
