Former President Barack Obama considered being homosexual as a young man, according to a forthcoming biography of the president.
The biography by David Garrow, “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama,” is set to come out on May 9. Garrow wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Martin Luther King Jr., and is a regular contributor to The New York Times and The Washington Post.
In a chapter about the former president’s two years at Occidental College, Garrow reveals a close relationship Obama had with an openly gay assistant professor named Lawrence Goldyn.
“Goldyn made a huge impact on Barry Obama,” Garrow wrote in the book. “Almost a quarter century later, asked about his understanding of gay issues, Obama enthusiastically said, ‘my favorite professor my first year in college was one of the first openly gay people that I knew…He was a terrific guy” with whom Obama developed a ‘friendship beyond the classroom.'”
The biographer added, “Goldyn years later would remember that Obama ‘was not fearful of being associated with me’ in terms of ‘talking socially’ and ‘learning from me’ after as well as in class.”
“Three years later, Obama wrote somewhat elusively to his first intimate girlfriend that he had thought about and considered gayness, but ultimately had decided that a same-sex relationship would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the opposite sex,” Garrow wrote. “But there is no doubting that Goldyn gave eighteen-year-old Barry a vastly more positive and uplifting image of gay identity and self-confidence than he had known in Honolulu.”

Seems more of a dealer to me.
‘somewhat Racist’
Your understatement is noted.
Look close at the cigarette and see that they are holding hands in that photo. Gag inducing.
I suspect he did much more than consider it.
And what did he decide on?
So their caliph obama now states that being gay is a choice. Good to know.
HOMOSEXUALITY IS A CHOICE!!!
from the messiah’s own mouth
please notify the LGBT community.
Just another angle and data point to understanding obama’s hate of traditional America
Obama’s (Ayers’ written) memoir says he did “blow,” when he could get it. Blow is cocaine:

That was sure some explanation he gave his girlfriend! What a lying pompous fraud.
Obama was and is a worthless left wing pos.from this story I’m pretty certain he was at best bi-sexual. When you hang with a left wing gay professor they insist that you try it out. They love exploiting students.
The author of the bio was doing a publicity interview, and was asked about tgat. I.e.: he was asked if Obama experimented with homosexual sex. The author paused, and then said, ‘I believe everyone deserves some privacy.’
I thought people were born that way. The psychosis with these people glares through in their hypocrisy.
I knew he would come out after he left office.
Barry did more than consider gayness according to many of his peers. He didn’t earn the moniker “Bathhouse Barry” for nothing
Yes. I agree that he is bisexual which is another way of saying he has no standards, like every other lib. He doesn’t care whom he f**ks.
JOKE: What’s the difference between a rooster and Barack Obama? A rooster says, “Cockadoodle doo,” Obama says, “Any cock’ll do.”
