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.

I lled him up to fd out where the accatns me So how did you stumble across the allegatns that Obama is gay? Larry wrote a book about havg two homosexual enunters wh Obama 1999, when Obama was state 's not the most reliable of sourc, though.

Rumours were that Young had been havg a homosexual relatnship wh Obama and was murred so the story uldn't get ’ve also talked a lot about the myster weddg rg Obama wore his youth.

THIS MAN HAS PROOF THAT OBAMA IS GAY

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 also read your article that suggted Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed Benghazi, was also gay. I didn't say he was gay outright, I jt said there was a lot of evince that suggted he was 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.
