OPN AMERI HAS ALREADY HAD A GAY PRINT

“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.

AMERI MAY HAVE HAD A GAY PRINT AND HE MAY HAVE HAD A PARTNER OM ALABAMA

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.

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.

To see how far the e of gay rights has progrsed such a remarkably short perd of time, nsir the followg sentence buried an otherwise banal Associated Prs report about Barack and Michelle Obama’s vatn plans over the recent Father’s Day Weekend Rancho Mirage, California. ”Not long ago, the notn of the First Couple spendg a long weekend wh a gay one, let alone advertisg to the prs, would have prented the Whe Hoe Chief of Staff wh a PR headache.

WAS FRANKL PIERCE GAY

Amerin prints have long had gay iends and advisers, many of whom have occupied posns not so stereotypilly swish as Whe Hoe rator. More often than not, however, their homosexualy was a closely guard secret, revealed untentnally or as a rult of embarrassg sndal. 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.

WHO WAS OUR FIRST GAY PRINT?

17 GAY SEX SNDALS THAT ROCKED AMERIN POLICS

Loewen is one of several historians who believe that Jam Buchanan, who served om 1857 to 1861, was fact our first gay print.

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. C., and the forc of homophobia only amplify the nsequence when gay enunters make headl. Many a gay sex sndal ret the urse of Amerin history and transformed the way natnal lears will be remembered for time immemorial.

Pl Internatnal Airport known by thori as a popular spot for gay trysts saw s most notor occupant ever on June 11, 2007. Pl his emphatic claratn he had "never been gay" prompted men claimg to be his ex-lovers to speak out to the prs. The two never publicly acknowledged a sexual relatnship, but the closens earns scty even today, pecially wh Hoover's history of antagonizg gay people, but the FBI matas still that there was no evince Hoover was Foley Gets Too DeepHow much trouble did U.

Some historians nsir the men to be the first gay print and vice Brgs Down LBJ HonchoWalter Jenks served as Print Lyndon Johnson's chief of staff, and by many acunts was key to brgg the former Texas senator to his historic posn of power. But the New York Post reported that the polician fact was payg for gay sex an tablishment n by Nazi foreign agents. Alben Barkley that the Army handle such sndal by offerg an officer the tools for suici, acrdg to Charl Kaiser's The Gay Metropolis.
