Jam Buchanan was the only US print who never married. Here's why historians believe he was also our first, and so far only, gay print." emprop="scriptn * half indian gay president *

There has never been an openly gay print of the Uned Stat, but some historians have argued that Jam Buchanan, the only print who never shared the Whe Hoe wh a first lady, may have had feelgs for a member of the same sex.

It would not have been unual, nor would have proved Buchanan not to have been gay, if they had married; history is filled wh homosexual men who married straight women. Jam Loewen, a proment Amerin soclogist and historian, has been outspoken his claims that Buchanan was the first gay print, wrg a 2012 say:. Loewen has argued that Buchanan's homosexualy is not often discsed morn tim bee Amerins do not want to believe that society was more tolerant of gay relatnships the 19th century than they are now.

Although has long been mored that Richard Nixon had a homosexual affair wh his close iend Bebe Rebozo, Buchanan is still the most likely ndidate for first, and only, gay Amerin print.
