I think the likelier candidate for the first gay president is James Buchanan. I’ve never heard such speculation regarding Fillmore or Pierce. Can you give a source for that?

My faulty memory. Pictured him right—just guessed the name wrong.

James Buchanan is the only President who never married (supposedly he was too heart-broken after his fiancee died to consider marrying anyone else) but he was suspected of being a homosexual.

Fillmore married at the age of 26 and had a son and a daughter. Pierce married when he was about 29 and had three sons, all of whom died as children. That hasn't kept The New York Times from asserting that Barbara Pierce Bush, the wife of George H. W. Bush, was a direct descendant of Franklin Pierce (she was a distant cousin).

The gays say Lincoln was gay.
