We’ve had plenty of unnamed sourc sistg on the heterosexualy of Solicor General and Supreme Court nomee Elena Kagan. The most notable was the anonymo admistratn official who told the Washgton Post that Kagan isn’t gay, rponse to an onle lumn by nservative blogger Ben Domenech claimg otherwise. But there have been other such sourc. I prevly mentned one, a Clton Admistratn official volved vettg Kagan when she was nomated to the D.C. Circu, who sisted to me that she’s straight. Marc Ambr of The Atlantic ced “[p]eople who know Kagan very well” reportg that she’s not gay. Now we have an intified dividual gog on the rerd to say that the Dive Miss K enjoys the big D. From Poli: Elena Kagan is not a lbian, one of her bt iends told POLITICO Tuday night, rpondg to persistent mors and nuendo about the Supreme Court nomee’s personal life. “I’ve known her for most of her adult life and I know she’s straight,” said Sarah Walzer, Kagan’s roommate law school and a close iend sce then. “She dated men when we were law school, we talked about men — who our class was cute, who she would like to date, all of those thgs. She fely dated when she was D.C. after law school, when she was Chigo – and she jt didn’t fd the right person.” A nial that the likely 112th jtice of the Supreme Court is a votee of Sappho? This is jt… so… ridiculo. But fun! God bls Ameri. And there’s more…. One mor that has ma the rounds is that Kagan once lived together, wh a woman, the Cambridge area. The mor might be lerally te — even if the woman qutn, Sarah Walzer, was Kagan’s law school roommate. Her straight law school roommate, who is now married (to a man — another former roommate, tertgly enough). The Poli piece, by Ben Smh, scrib Walzer and Kagan’s life together at HLS: Walzer relled sharg a spac, moe-fted send floor apartment wh Kagan Somerville, Mass., the cy adjog Cambridge, the early 1980s, when Kagan was a stunt at Harvard Law School. The send-floor of a triple-cker, the hoe had a large dg room where they hosted equent dner parti – Walzer did the okg – for iends who lived dormori or smaller apartments. “There fely were strategic v,” Wazler relled. “She’d say, ‘This is somebody I’m terted ’ and I’d say ‘I’ll make sure he’s one of the people we ve.’” This is somebody I’m terted … bee he might be able to appot me to the feral bench someday? [T]he two lived the life of sgle, straight young women, wh a b of a Harvard Law twist. Walzer relled “discsn about who she might be terted – the ual girl talk stuff– talk about how to get his attentn.” Solicor General Kagan, I refer you to the wise unsel of your fellow HLS alumna, Elle Woods: “Bend, and snap!’ So, will Walzer’s statement stop the speculatn? Not clear. Profsg heterosexualy llege or law school (or beyond) don’t make you straight for life; tst me on this. And a female iend / ex-roommate isn’t a firsthand source on Kagan’s sexualy. Walzer and Kagan were roommat at Harvard Law School, not Smh College. It would be nice if we uld fd someone who has been unrneath her robe — or pantsu, sce she’s not (yet) a judge — and who uld say of Kagan: “I me, I saw, I nquered.” (Or maybe “I saw, I nquered, I me.”) Can we get on-the-rerd ment om an ex-boyiend, preferably one wh the statute of limatns — say, the past six years? That ex-boyiend will not be former New York Governor Elt Spzer. From Poli: Another iend, former New York Governor Elt Spzer, a member of Kagan’s social circle at Prceton Universy, wanted to make the same pot as Walzer. “I did not go out wh her, but other guys did.” Well, Elt, maybe you should have. She wouldn’t have charged you $5,000 an hour. But we hear she lik her men to take their socks off. Elena Kagan’s iends: She’s not gay [Poli] Earlier: Did Bill Clton Jt Jo Team Kagan? And what team do Elena Kagan play for?

KAGAN AND THE 'GAY QUTN' CONTROVERSY
When Elena Kagan go before the Senate Judiciary Commtee this summer, she'll be asked dozens of qutns by probg Senators. What she almost certaly won't be asked are qutns about her sexualy. But that hasn't stopped a mixed st of gay and nservative bloggers om dog stead, sparkg a boistero bate about a nomee's personal life never seen before. * is kagan gay *
) Still, that's all many people need for a swift nvictn on charg of 's opposed to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell": Long a thorn the si of the gay civil rights movement, Kagan is stnchly agast the policy that has kept gay soldiers om servg openly. Sorry, but, like softball, mayor of Gaytown has endorsed her: Andrew Sullivan, who is the rglear of the "gays to polics, " says that she is part of his gay club.
If anyone knows the tth, 's Gay Uncle 's never nied the mors: The Kagan lbian mors aren't new, but she's never ma a public statement nyg them. Here's the basic le on gay mors: If someone don't ny them or won't talk about them, then they are digs lbian judg: When Obama was lookg at replacements for Jtice Souter last year, two lbians were serly nsired for the slot that eventually went to Sonia Sotomayor.
This has no bearg on Kagan specifilly, but shows the admistratn isn't pletely petrified of nomatg someone of the Sapphic gay tablishment is spicly quiet: Sure, Andrew Sullivan has said she's gay (as have several gay blogs), but much of the gay media has been mum about Kagan's sexualy.
