No comment. None whatsoever.
Former President Barack Obama considered being homosexual as a young man, according to a forthcoming biography of the president.
Obama wrote somewhat elusively to his first intimate girlfriend that he had thought about and considered gayness, but ultimately had decided that a same-sex relationship would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the opposite sex.
OK, one comment. How could Obama “consider being gay.” We know that’s impossible right? You’re hard-wired gay or straight from whatever point in the womb you cease being a blob of parasitic cells and become a potential human life. Nobody chooses to be gay. It’s not possible. The science is settled.
Didn’t you?
I wonder about the science. Perhaps it’s nature taking care of business.
From what I’ve read about his days as a community organizer in Chicago when he was known as “Bathhouse Barry” he didn’t just consider gayness he acted on it. Supposedly it was well known that he was gay and had a preference for older white men.
Then there’s his relationship with Reggie Love, and Michelle’s penis…
You lost me on that paragraph. We’re you being sarcastic?
Perhaps he’s bisexual, in which case it’s all way too much info. Is there anything about him which isn’t a lie? His mommy was a libertine, I’m sure he had all sorts of seedy role models. He’s always been one of those people that mimic others, instead of actually having a personality or a set of experiences of his own. Graduating from being Pelosi & Reid’s puppet to being a weak president with a bad foreign policy & domestic economic legacies is an indication, in my book, that he was & is still an amateur. One gags violently at the thought of anything beyond his extra wide tighty whities underneath his wrinkly dad pants.
Anyone that postulates like this about sexual orientation, never has sex. Ever. With anyone. Unless it’s all about stumbling around in the dark.
Translation;
Bath-house Barry on the Down-Low, depending on the “kindness of strangers” to get into and pay for TWO expensive universities, and struggled to maintain the veneer of heteronormaty to further his political career.
Once freed of the White House, he flew straight **cough-cough** to spend time with a gay couple in Palm Springs, and weeks on-board the Geffen-yacht with it’s hot-and-cold-running towelboys in tight khaki-shorts and nippley white Polos.
One doesn’t ‘consider being homosexual’ as one considers putting on a jacket and tie. I have no problem with his being homosexual or bisexual. I do have a problem with his pretense of heterosexuality in order to advance a public career and his being one of the sh*ttiest presidents of all time, just as I would have a problem with his ‘…consider[ing] being homosexual…’ as an enhancement of his resume. Everything about him is false and I don’t trust his own writings about himself, let alone a biographer, ghostwriter, or hatchet job. Obama is the quintessentially figurative empty suit.
I know that genuinely-bisexual men are a real thing; but statistically not common (true bisexuality or fluidity of preference is more of a female thing). And incomprehensible, to me.
Obama :
for SSM when gays were financing his local campaign.
against SSM when he need to court the larger black population of his district and the US
for SSM after Biden opened his stupid mouth.
And leftist gays loooooooooove him…
He was the First Gay President. If he was a cynical and vacuous weather-vane who hid his sexuality for gain… All the more so.
Whatever the truth about BHO’s sexuality (and I don’t know or care), the fact that this is coming to light now allows yet another opportunity for leftist virtue signaling.
“Not only did we vote for the first [half] black president, he even considered being gay! Aren’t we the coolest, most progressive people ever?”
James Buchanan was the first gay president.
And it’s possible that Warren Harding was the first black president, if memory serves.
“First gay president” != “First Gay president” 😉
Okay, that created a visual that was TMI. Quite frankly, I don’t want to imagine any of the 45 presidents in our nation’s history as being anything other than hetero or possibly asexual. There’s just no benefit in it for me; it’s kind of like thinking of your parents as physically attractive people who have/had sexual relations.
Not true. This is a falsehood which has been perpetuated for more than thirty years without any substantive proof other than speculation based on interpersonal relationships with other men (to the same degree which was common in that era). In the late 1980s The Advocate published a story about the alleged sexual orientation of our 15th President, and several gay historians refuted that allegation in subsequent issues via the letters section.
In the same vein, there has been speculation about his successor, our 16th President, in recent years, due to the fact that Abraham Lincoln shared a bed with his roommate in Springfield. Yet what the promoters of the suggestion that “Abraham Lincoln was gay!” choose not to understand is that bed-sharing was quite common at that time in history between members of the same gender. The concept of having a bed and/or bedroom to oneself is, in reality, a relatively recent phenomenon—even among the wealthy who could afford such an extravagance.
We do a disservice to history when we attempt to interpret historical events through a modern day prism. While history is filled with plenty of examples of ‘the love that dare not speak its name’, attempts to populate it with an abundance of examples where no positive proof exists do nothing to further any cause and only serve to perpetuate myths which then become rooted in history as fact (such as George Washington’s felling of a cherry tree).
The most that can be said is that James Buchanan was our first (and only) never married president. What existed in his life and in his heart beyond that can only be guessed at, but still must be evaluated in the context of the time and place in which it occurred and not in the context of any other.
Interesting. So for Obama, who came up after the sexual revolution, it would then not have been that unusual for a straight or straight-leaning liberal guy attending liberal institutions to have experimented with another guy or two in college. Nor, would it have been unusual for him to have a close relationship with a gay professor. (In fact, I remember a straight friend I had a huge crush in college who had a similar relationship with our only out professor)
CCP : You must be in great shape from carrying all that water for three of the most corrupt, morally bankrupt, duplicitous politians of the last 100 years.
These rumors were being perpetuated while he was in office. None of us were there and cannot confirm anything but the implications point in that direction.
Which is why it is inappropriate to make blanket statements concerning his affectional status. I realize that there were rumors bandied about at the time, but President Buchanan was considered ineffectual while in office so there’s reason to believe that some of the whispering was politically-oriented. It’s also important to remember how rare a single, never-married male was in that era, particularly one who was successful in the public eye. So it inherently aroused a number of suspicions, many of them unflattering.
James Buchanan was the Lindsey Graham of his day. But at least President Buchanan was known to have interests in several women during his life.
James Buchannon????? O. M. G. LOL
Am I the only one here who can pinpoint the exact moment in time he became aware of:
1. The existence of his sexuality; and
2. The orientation of that sexuality?
For me it was my first glimpse of Judy Robinson from Lost in Space.
I was far too young to have chosen or willed the sensations that Judy stirred up.
I will never entertain the argument that we can select our orientation as we do a main course. The heart wants what it wants.
(If you’re out there Marta, I still carry a torch).
