Just because you do drag doesn’t make you homosexual. I’ve never been in drag, and I know direct guys that hold

Yeah, but s/he’s got some revolutionary ta-ta’s poppin’ out that dress. He might still be ‘pre-op’ in the portrait-- No telling if he’s still got “Little King George” in there or not…

One reason I initiate these threads is my kindness, to save you. If you read enough T-Nation, see how men act, gaze at the warm girls all over the site, you might decide to quit being lgbtq+ and return to being a man.
I don’t think GW or any of those guys were gay, btw. GW was kinda wierd though, how he hated being touched and was an avid dancer. But he had the hotz for his best friend’s wife so very likely he’s hetero.

LarryKramer'srecent novel, The American People: Volume 1: A Search for My Heart, has got tongues wagging again about which great men in American history were gay. In interviews, as well as in the publication, Kramer has claimed that many of the founders, including George Washington, were gay. As Kramer knows, the terms "heterosexual" and "homosexual" were coined in the late nineteenth century, and many will dismiss the book because he appears to be a bad historian by asserting latest ideas about the past. But, what I find more compelling is that the negative reaction to Kramer's affirmation points to an even bigger obstacle in American history, and that is the blanket assumption that everyone in the past was straight, unless proven otherwise.
Historians of the LGBTQ past have noted that there is double-standard, a default setting for the sexual orientations of historical figures. Larry Kramer seeks to tackle it head-on with his book. His provocative statements will convince some and irk others. For academic historians, it will likely just result in one request: Show us the evidence. Kramer has long argued that academic historians are as much to blame for the straight-washing of Ame
As Congress at last debates the military's "Don't Inquire, Don't Tell" policy, we might ask ourselves: "What if George Washington was gay?"
The question is posed by "Thomas Paine's" shocking new Passions of the Potsmoking Patriots.
The answer, of course, is that -- under today's laws -- he would have been drummed out of the Revolutionary Army, and we might still be a colony of the King.
Because he "could not inform a lie," a male lover General Washington would possess been obliged to change himself in. Under current policy, the Continental Congress would have sent him packing back to Mt. Vernon.
Like many gays in today's military, Washington was irreplaceable. Possessed of an iron will and Vesuvian temper, it's hard to imagine anyone else holding the ragtag Revolutionary army together. His 1776 crossing of the Delaware to surprise the mercenary Hessians in Trenton was one of the great military strokes in all history.
To train his men at Valley Forge, Washington enlisted the Prussian military genius Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, who had fled Prussia amidst numerous charges of molesting childish boys. He arrived with a 17-year-old male assistant and was later romantically linked with a

Description
Former lecturer in surgery at Harvard and senior surgeon at Boston City Hospital, George W. Same-sex attracted was approached by the Massachusetts Commission for expert advice on vasectomy and enforced sterilization: “The most feasible method of controlling women at present in this state is custodial supervision in an institution. Surgery offers an effectual preventative to conception, but it is not without some danger to life. With the male, however, there is a measure which is safe, practically painless, effective and free from any objections. Vasectomy … has been done a good many times with most satisfactory results to all concerned…. Your Commission is doubtless familiar with the admirable work which has been and is now being done by Dr. H. H. Goddard at Vineland, New Jersey…. Having spent a day there last year I became much interested in the results of his labors.
