More than a bromance - the intimate relationship between John F. Kennedy and his gay friend [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 9, 2017 | Jerry Oppenheimer

ohn F. Kennedy, whose 100th birthday is being celebrated this year with a Kennedy Centennial postage stamp, TV memorials, a slew of books, and much media coverage, was revered as the 35th president of the United States. But the man married to Jackie Kennedy was quietly chided for his compulsive philandering. The one iconic photo of President John F. Kennedy up close and personal with a woman other than Jackie shows him and his attorney general brother, Robert, coming on to curvaceous Marilyn Monroe at a party. While the photo of Kennedy cozying up to Monroe is the best known of him with one of his purported lovers, other far less public snapshots show the flip side of Kennedy's intimate relationships.

Leftists think that homosexuality is normal and heterosexuality is deviant.

“History will reflect that in the long run, JFK’s biggest impact will be that he lowered the bar for subsequent presidents in terms of competence and morality.”

and that he received uniformly fawning coverage from the media.

I seem to recall there was a story that popped up in somebody’s bio (I forget who) that RFK and Rudolf Nureyev were caught in a closet during a party getting busy.

Not 100% sure of the parties, but I really think it was RFK and Nureyev.

What Fitzgerald/Kennedy enemy James Michael Curley said when he got caught taking a civil service for a constituent: "I did it for a friend."

Obviously, JFK wasn't gay, but he might have been drunk enough or stoned enough or tired enough or curious enough that anything could have happened.

“Jack would have sex with anything.”

Sometimes they will say “...anything with 2 legs”, but I doubt Jack Kennedy would have worried about how many legs were attached to the hole he was using. 1, 2, 4...

I never liked him but as a little girl had a crush on Dr Kildaire.

Life Rule # 23

When you can have sex with Marilyn Monroe, you do not have sex with dudes.

IMO, often men who are blatantly promiscuous with women actually are covering up their attraction to the male sex.

I read a lot of books on JFK years ago and know who Lem Billings was, but I doubt that Kennedy was gay. When would he have had time?

Another slur against a long dead guy who can’t defend himself.

I think for insatiably promiscuous men, sex is a drug. They inevitable become jaded and are always on the search for a new high, so they don’t rule out gay sex. Hugh Hefner is the perfect example.

My sister has been saying for years that those that pull the strings get people like Kennedy in office that have secrets so they can be controlled by the puppet masters.

Did you have a Dr. Kildaire blouse? I was more a fan of Ben Casey and had a Ben Casey blouse. It was plain. The Dr. Kildaire blouse was ruffled. Didn’t understand why at the time but now I get it. ;)

Poor guy can’t even defend himself. This gossip is disgusting to a dead president.

Considering Kennedy’s free-wheeling sexual activity and his close friendship with Billings, it looks to me like a no brainer. The photos of them together tell the story. Kennedy on the receiving end? Probably, certainly during the school days. After that, who knows?

Yeah.

This was once correctly understood as sensual excess - it manifests differently for different persons, and at different times for the same person.

There is no such thing as homosexuality; it is homoeroticism.

The matching swim trunks in the first photo are a sweet touch.
