President’s Day, a day where we celebrate the contribution of many of our nation’s great presidents has come and gone, but one thing we’re often asked is which presidents were gay or even a little tranny?
Do any of these political leaders look gay to you?
On today’s show we examine the sexual legacy of Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other founding fathers. George Washington may not have been gay but he did raise marijuana and may have even toked up a bit. He also like to design uniforms for the nation’s new army and even decorated his home Mount Vernon which makes you think.
Abraham Lincoln shared beds with men throughout his life and even while in the White House. While there isn’t proof positive that he was gay, the Log Cabin Republicans are proud to call them one of their own.
He may not have been president but, I wonder why gay republicans’ don’t adopt Alexander Hamilton as their political icon? After all, he was conservative by today’s standards, he’s on the pink 10 dollar bill and there’s hard evidence of romantic relationships with men and women. Talk about bipartisanship!
Speaking of which, who decided that the $10 bill would have pink overtones and the $5 lavender hues? Our money sure looks gay. Be sure to friend Gaybraham Lincoln on Facebook, he’s a riot.
We’re hearing rumors of a Dolly Parton/Barack Obama connection, similar to the Abraham Lincoln / JFK conspiracy. Will it pan out? We’re looking for real data to make the connection.
Local party promoter Carlos Torres joins us to talk about the presidents and the news.
Facebook’s new terms of service is causing a lot of controversy on the internet. Could it possibly be true that everything you ever post on Facebook would be owned by the company forever? Well, the company has reverted to old policy because of the public outcry.
A West Virginia religious fundamentalists group targets gays in a controversial video that may advocate violence against gay people. The ad portrays the American family under attack and suggests that West Virginians should attack first.
The world’s largest collection of Barf Bags is held by the Smithsonian but Niek Vermeulen of the Netherlands is giving them a run for their money. He’s collected over 3,700 barf bags from over 800 different airlines and another 10,000 spare bags. You can also check out these fab barf bag blogs, by Rune and by Kelly. It makes me sick just thinking about it!

I would sleep with Hamilton before Lincoln. Hamilton is definitely cuter. Lincoln not so much but he was a big guy so maybe he has a big…
I too do not like hugging very much. Glen, my husband, hugs everyone so I feel obligated to hug a lot of people I wouldn’t normally hug. I wasn’t raised that way. My dad in his old age has started hugging me when I see him. Just last weekend he even gave Glen a hug. Growing up in South Georgia with a conservative although not very religious family I never thought one day my dad would actually hug my partner. I can never tell my dad how much that gesture meant to me.
All these photos of possibly gay U.S. leaders bring out daddy issues in a lot of us.
Thanks for the info on the “gay” presidents. I am the biggest history geek so I love hearing about stuff like that.
PS-I’m with Cliff, would totally be into Mr. Hamilton. He must have been a REAL bitchy queen because some shot him. If only we could still do that today.
Maybe they used hollywood hunk Ed Burns as a model for the $10 bill!
Aw, Fausto, you really like that picture I took of you at Sardi’s in front of Lucy’s caricature… Mua! Mami
Ahh….that would explain erring on the side of Hamilton.
Why not name Carlos’ French Bulldog Hamilton after our sexy gay founding father? You could call him Ham for short. My dog (a King Charles Cavalier) snorts like a pig too. It’s called reverse sneezing. It happens to dogs with big eyes and little skulls. They develop an elongated soft palette that can get stuck occasionally in their trachea. They snort to blow it out.
Great show, but for some reason I remember Taft having a collection of women’s shoes being in the mix. Can’t remember where that rumor weed started.
Cliff! I love that suggestion! My baby sneezes all the time, all over me! It’s adorable and he snores louder than humans at night! Thanks. =)
