If you ever needed more indirect proof that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover was a closeted gay, the likely psychological projection involved with him “investigating” people such as Jack Valenti on suspicions of being gay should be the final nail in the coffin.
LBJ initially said no on the Valenti look-see, but J. Eager Believer kept pushing and Johnson eventually relented.
Sadly, though people’s attitudes can grow and change over time, Bill Moyers pushed the FBI to investigate alleged gayness of a couple of other people.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
