James Buchanan may have been a closeted gay President.

Perhaps. It's very possible he simply never got over the death (perhaps suicide) of his fiancé, Ann Coleman. Years later as he was moving up in politics different women wanted to take him to the altar. His reply was almost always: "Marry I can not, for my affections were buried in the grave.”

Or was it “...for my affectations were buried in the grave.”

Quick, a blue (and red and green and yellow and purple) ribbon congressional commission to investigate. Table everything else.

Ok, why do they have to be openly gay, LBTQ? I do believe that is what most the whole conversation offensive to me.

I’ve heard people speak on this who said they didn’t believe he was gay at all.

And in response to those who believe the very scant ‘evidence’ of his purported transvestism, cross dressers are actually more likely to be heterosexual males than to be gay.

The accusation that Buchanan was gay comes from a gay historian who interpreted an affectionate letter to a friend as evidence he was gay.

There’s no proof whatsoever, but it has stuck.

The cross dressing is not the evidence.

The evidence is the long history of his personal life and where he spent time on his vacations.

His gay trysts were arranged by the Mob in New York City and La Costa in California.

And you know this, how? You read it somewhere?

People can have all sorts of developmental or simply natural issues that make them sexually repressed or even asexual. That doesn’t mean they are actively homosexual.

They’ve done this with lots of people in history - it’s the old version of demonizing people by calling them ‘racists’.

Walt Whitman comes to mind - because of the affectionate and passionate terms of his time through which he often expressed himself, they decided he was ‘gay’. And they just DECIDE that all sorts of asexual people were ‘gay’.

Some just can’t understand people who happen to think and feel or choose to live differently.

It was rumored at the time. Will!m Rufus King was a Senator, and briefly Franklin Price’s VP. He and Buchanan used to share a bed. He was mockingly referred to as Buchanan’s Wife.
