PETE BUTTIGIEG SAYS THERE HAVE PROBABLY BEEN GAY PRINTS. HERE'S WHY THAT THEORY IS COMPLITED

Pete Buttigieg believ he probably won’t be the first gay print if he’s elected 2020. Mayor was asked how he’d rpond to crics who ll him too young, too liberal and too gay. I would image we’ve probably had excellent prints who were gay — we jt didn’t know which on, ” Buttigeig said.

Some of the most popular theori about whether there has ever been a gay print surround Print Jam Buchanan, one-term print om 1857-1861. Has had a gay print–by the morn fn.

AMERI'S ONLY BACHELOR PRINT MAY HAVE BEEN ITS ONLY GAY ONE

“It might be more accurate to say that there may have been prints the past who sired men, or had sexual experienc wh men… they wouldn’t have necsarily intified as gay a 21st century sense. Likely already had a gay print. For Buttigieg to say that another print may have been gay the way that ’s unrstood the 21st century, “’s jt farcil, ” Balcerski says.

Has had a gay print? Even if the two had some sort of attractn to other men, they wouldn’t have intified as gay bee that notn of livg as an out gay man didn’t exist, both historians say. The term homosexual, for stance, didn’t exist until 1868.

“I thk that there were always gray areas and nuanc and plenty of possibili for men the late 19th and 20th century to have sex wh other men and not nsir themselv gay, ” Clev says. But by the standard of morn gay inty, no print would f to that tegory. ” Both Balcerski and Clev say gay inty needs to be seen through the lens of the era.

GAY ATRIA

“Did Jam Buchanan or Abraham Lln intify as gay the morn sense of the term? The 19th century was an era before homosexualy was medilly classified as a disorr or perversn. “I fd that the early 19th century, ironilly, almost prents an era where the same kds of pathologi [agast gay men] that will be prent all the way through the pre-Stonewall era aren’t que place yet.

Balcerski says ’s important to chronicle gay history, but he says popular theori about the lik of Buchanan and Lln are too simplistic.

“As we bee more and more terted broang the tt, so to speak, of LGBT history, what we fd is we’ve taken people, who for one reason or another, don’t f to a normative pattern of heterosexual marriage and we basilly put this label on them as gay, ” Balcerski says.

WHO WAS OUR FIRST GAY PRINT?

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:. "There n be no doubt that Jam Buchanan was gay, before, durg, and after his four years the Whe Hoe.

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. Thanks to his vol support of gay marriage, Print Barack Obama did earn the tle briefly, albe symbolilly, a May 2012 Newsweek magaze article, wrten by Andrew Sullivan.
