Between beg a right wg media sensatn, he's found the time to wre a uple of books on Obama – books that allege he was molted as a child, is a Communist and, of urse, that he's gay.

A lot of people suggt was eher to keep women away, or to act as some kd of wk-wk gay, that, or jt a fashn accsory, I suppose.

THE EVOLUTN OF THE NATN’S ‘FIRST GAY PRINT’

Candoo has been married and has children, but he wouldn't be the first guy history to have a fay and be gay or bisexual.

Then, when I started preparg terviews for The Obama Natn, I was told stori about Obama beg gay almost om the first nfintial terview I had. I believe he will do everythg he n to try and achieve that goal, you've mentned this guy Jeremiah Wright before, who arrang "down-low" marriag of gay men to women who n't fd a hband. I also read your article that suggted Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed Benghazi, was also gay.

I may have mentned the article that there was at least one cint where, Pakistan, our embassy held a gay pri day and ed a rt you thk the rts Benghazi were ed by people fdg out about ambassador Stevens’ sexualy? I've read articl where people suggt your obssn wh Obama reflects your latent homosexualy.

I'm not antagonistic towards gays – I've had many gay iends – but I'm not gay So what's the big al if Obama's gay or not?

I had you down as some homophobic whackjob who wanted to prove Obama was gay out of hatred for homosexuals. The majory of people aren't gog to re if he is gay, but he has to be forthright about . They knew they had to be open about that issue, so they tried to turn to an aspect of his ol, youthful persona, but I thk they viewed his homosexualy as a liabily, so they lied about .
