WHO WAS OUR FIRST GAY PRINT?

You may have seen the other ntroversial newsmagaze ver this week, the one where Newsweek dubbed Print Obama “The First Gay Print“. But as Jim Loewen at the History News Network would like to remd , even if Obama were gay, he wouldn’t be the first: more than 150 years before the Uned Stat had s first black print, had s first homosexual manr chief.

(MORE: Gay Marriage the Swg Stat: Where Will Obama’s ‘Evolutn’ Matter? Loewen is one of several historians who believe that Jam Buchanan, who served om 1857 to 1861, was fact our first gay print.

OPN AMERI HAS ALREADY HAD A GAY PRINT

(MORE: In Gay Marriage Reversal, Print Obama Fac Risk on All Sis). And while Loewen not that Obama’s stance on gay marriage is a wele parture om our recent past, to tout morn Amerin society as more tolerant than any our history is a claim that has yet to pass the tt of time. “If elected, you would be the first openly gay print of the Uned Stat, ” Stephen Colbert said to Pete Buttigieg after the mayor of South Bend, Ind., clared his ndidacy.

While the characterizatn of beg openly gay or “out” is relatively new, the fact is the Uned Stat has already had a gay print whose ntemporari knew : Jam Buchanan.

Ined, the Uned Stat has also had a gay vice print and, maybe more surprisgly, a gay senator om stunts takg U. Andrew Jackson referred to Kg as “Miss Nancy”— a phemism for a gay ntemporari lled Kg Buchanan’s “better half, ” and one ngrsman referred to him as “Mrs. ” All this would be que peculiar if Buchanan was not gay.

IS ANDREW JACKSON GAY

At most uld suggt Buchanan was not openly discsg this moment, we fet that beg gay the mid-19th century did not tomatilly exclu a man om natnal learship. The ia that some people, cludg policians and social lears, are gay was not news or shockg to our forefathers.

S., sorry, Pete Buttigieg, you n’t aim to be the first gay print, although you uld be the first married gay print. Google Jam Buchanan and you evably disver the assertn that Amerin history has clared him to be the first gay print.

WHEN BEG GAY IS ‘NOT A BIG DEAL’

It don’t take much longer to disver that the popular unrstandg of Jam Buchanan as our natn’s first gay print riv om his relatnship wh one man particular: William Ruf DeVane Kg of Alabama.

Was each man “gay, ” or somethg else? And why do Amerins seem fixated on makg Buchanan our first gay print?

In the sh to make new meang of the past, I have e to unrstand why today has bee rigr to nsir Buchanan our first gay print. But by then, an unrstandg of homosexualy as a sexual inty and orientatn had begun to take hold among the general public.

The media soon ught wd of the ia that we may have had a “gay print. ” In the November 1987 issue of Penthoe Magaze, New York gossip lumnist Sharon Churcher noted the fdg an article headled “Our First Gay Print, Out of the Closet, Fally. Updike creatively imaged the boardghoe life of Buchanan and Kg, but he admted to fdg few “trac of homosexual passn.

This leav today wh the popular nceptn of Jam Buchanan as our first gay print.

Centuri of reprsn of homosexualy the Uned Stat has erased untls number of Amerins om the story of LGBT history. More than anythg else, this impulse explas why Amerins have transformed Jam Buchanan to our first gay print. Worse still, movg Buchanan and Kg om iends to lovers blocks the way for a person today to assume the proper mantle of beg our first gay print.
