J. EDGAR HOOVER: GAY OR JT A MAN WHO HAS SEX WH MEN?
Hoover was a gay cross-drser. Dpe rampant speculatn — that Hoover was gay, a cross-drser or had no sex life — the tth about his sex life is nearly impossible to p down. He lived an era when beg outed as gay would st anyone his reer and reputatn, and he was not one to risk such story that Hoover, a lifelong bachelor, participated cross-drsg, all-male sex parti New York hotel rooms, as reported by Brish wrer Anthony Summers a 1993 bgraphy, has been wily bunked by historians.
The story’s source, the wife of a bsman and Hoover nfidante, had a gdge om a ntted divorce, and other vtigatns of the story me up Hoover did have a gay relatnship, most likely was wh his longtime FBI associate director, Cly Tolson, another lifelong bachelor — but even this is disputed. Edgar Hoover, homosexualy was a precursor to munism, and the lists of dividuals his bure kept on the former were spected supporters of munist filtratn of the Uned Stat ernment, and the end of the Amerin way of life. Filmgoers never see the s-long romance between the former FBI director, and his number two, Cly Tolson, nsummated, but there's plenty of lovg glanc, hand-holdg and one scene wh an aggrsive, long, ep was the most powerful man Ameri, who died 1972 -- three years after the Stonewall rts marked the morn gay civil rights movement -- homosexual?
