Either that or nobody really cared.
I always heard that Lincoln was light in the loafers,too.
Not sure that no one cared. It's just that if prominent people were gay or had other "skeletons in the closet," they usually had "staff' to carefully cover up these things.
I was reading something yesterday about Rock Hudson. Most of his Hollywood bosses, pals, agents and associates knew he was gay. But they kept it quiet. Hudson himself certainly wouldn't broadcast it because if audiences knew, his career would be over.
I abhor homosexuality and other perversions for the sins they are. But that said, what anyone does behind closed doors is their business, not mine. Back in the day, people kept their private lives private. Now they broadcast their perversions as if it's some badge of honor. Real heroes fight for their country. They risk their lives to save others. They do something good for someone else. Being gay, trans, or whatever does not make you a hero.
About people caring: It seems all that Buttcrack has going for him is his homosexuality. The average voter, I believe, worries about the economy, health care, the invasion of illegals and alleged refugees, the debt and deficit -- real issues. Buttcrack has nothing to offer on any of these issues. All he does is run around the country saying "look at me. I'm gay." Other than his fellow perverts, who the *bleep* cares?
I just wish this guy and his fellow perverts would shut the *bleep* up.
