I guess that's why they are not making a great effort to try to claim James Buchanan as the first "gay" president.

Gay history, ie. Sodom and Gomorrah.
As STAIGHTforward as can be.
Actually there was a provision of the law that banned such information from being delivered. Which should remove all doubt that this has nothing to do with history and everything to do with propaganda.
I guess that's why they are not making a great effort to try to claim James Buchanan as the first "gay" president.
The claim King was gay rests mainly on his relationship with Buchanan, yet it is equally claimed Buchanan was not gay.
How’s that work?
Buchanan was arguably the worst president in US history.
The claim that Pierce and/or Buchanan contributed to or caused the Civil War by their actions is just silly, however. The conflict between the regions was much like a financial bubble. It was built into the nature of things. WHEN it burst out into open conflict was affected by political action, but that it would break out was inevitable.
I liked it better when the fudge packers was in the closet and our children did not have to have their filthy habits thrown in their face..
But a person’s perverse sexual preferences are SO relevant to what they contributed to the history of America...
that’s absurd on its face.
“the accomplishments of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans.”
lol....the only historically significant transgender is Wendy Carlos. And that’s not even a pamphlets worth of fame.
This is just the next step.
Remembering the Mad TV “Black History Minute” featuring the inventor of grape soda.
Having been raised in an age before all this nonsense, I've no idea who heshe was.
Do I need to be enlightened? Or am I better off just remaining ignorant.
What will happen? The same thing as when they ordered the inclusion of Womens Studies into the curriculum. One small paragraph of G Washington...a full page and 3 x 6 color portrait of Myra Burlingham, inventor of the ironing board.
"Do you have anything light to read?"
"How about this pamphlet of Famous Jewish Sports Heroes?"
Just because someone is a bachelor, doesn’t mean he is gay
Quite true. Though marriage for men was even more the norm then than now.
Unless I’m confused, Buchanan was the only bachelor President.
Even an author such as this, with careful historic research, could not dig up an example of a contribution to our nation by a transsexual. There was one in Philadelphia named “Harlow” who had a nightclub. I suppose that was a contribution, by California standards.
Perhaps the lack of constructive examples is because there were none before the term was promoted in last half of the past century by profiteering butcher/surgeons.
I wonder if they’ll talk about Gaetan Dugas. Probably the most significant figure in gay history.
"Transgender" doesn't exist. To change one's sex, one must change every cell in his body.
That was a funny scene, except the item was even smaller than a pamphlet. It was a leaflet as I recall. :)
Wendy was an electronic music trailblazer. If you’ve ever heard the album “Switched-On Bach” or saw “A Clockwork Orange” - that was her.
